Product Description

This is a guide to understanding the origins of codependence and the path to recovery, tracing the illness back to childhood describing emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical and sexual abuse. Because of these earlier experiences, codependent adults often lack the skills necessary to lead mature lives and have satisfying relationships. Recovery from codependence is achieved by reparenting oneself. Central to the author's concept is the idea of the "precious child" that needs healing within each adult. She creates a framework for identifying codependent behaviour and outlines an effective therapy for recovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for anyone wanting to understand themselves, 12 Dec 2001

By A Customer

I approached the reading of this book with a little skepticism but having read it, now wholeheartedly recommend it to others. What this book does that I havent seen done before, is to explain WHY we feel like we do, and HOW our childhood has so profoundly influenced us. In addition it provides excellent advice for parents in avoiding the pitfalls of causing our own children to act and think disfunctionally. The advice on how to get "better" is a little shallow and I didn't like the many additional references to Pia Mellody's other offerings.
Apart from this, a really excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing, 21 Dec 2008

By	R. Kohli (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've personally recommended this book to numerous people. Essentially, if you have some kind of problem now e.g. addiction, anxiety, anger, depression, resentment: then you can link it back to you some kind of dysfunction at childhood. Once you see the cause and effect and work through that then those problems will disappear. I've just started working through the book and have done a few of the courses and it's made me understand why I do the things I do. Pop pyschology this is not.
I cannot recommend this book enough, but you will probably not be able to fully understand yourself without some basic 1 on 1 or group therapy.
