Synopsis
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.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   33 of 34 people found the following review helpful: A book for anyone wanting to understand themselves, 13 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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
