Product Description

Product Description

Pia Mellody, author of "Facing Codependence" and "Breaking Free" turns her attention to the toxic experience of a co-addicted relationship. She argues that co-addiction and co-dependence, often confused with one another, are not the same thing - co-dependence is about how a relationship with oneself fails, whereas co-addiction is the result of an unhealthy entanglement with another. The book explores in detail the dynamics, the symptoms and the stages (from attraction to obsession) of a co-addicted relationship, and outlines a practical recovery process for the love addict.

5.0 out of 5 stars both technical and approachable, 1 Dec 1999
By A Customer
It took me a second reading to recognise the depth of insight which Pia mellody has to the problems of 'love addicts' and the avoidant partners who they suck in and are sucked towards. The book is by no means light and easy reading but it is structured in a way which will help anyone who truly wants to to benefit from it.

1.0 out of 5 stars American Psycho-babble, 31 Aug 2007
The theory and model proposed in this book looks plausible on the surface but I wonder how many people have tried to fit the model to their relationship and found it doesn't quite fit no matter from whose side in the relationship you look at it. This is because people are much more complex than the simple attraction/avoidance dance the author illustrates. To me, this book is just another example American Psycho-babble which unfortunately made it across the pond to the UK, and like all psycho-babble confuses more than explains. If someone waves the book at you and tells you it is good, look worried.
