Product Description

From the Publisher
Book review by Reba Be:
"This[book]is a compilation of Susan Peabody's course on Addiction to Love which she composed and leads at her local adult school. It is a lovely little book with pleasing chapter title pages, lively doses of healing, and lots of epiphanic information. Chapters are: Looking For Love; Contributing Factors That Influence Potential Love Addicts; Symptoms of Addiction to Love and Suggestions for change; How Addiction to Love Progresses; Recovery; and Starting Over Again. This is also a book with suggested further reading at the end of each lesson and a bibliography that is impressive.... Peabody's experience and research adds a vital clue to who is likely to become a love addict. After the long-standing examples of youngsters whose bonding with their primary caretaker (usually mothers) is either damaged or unhealthily severed, Peabody adds the peer-rejected youngsters.... What are the symptoms of Addiction to Love? Many and various and clearly set out in Chapter 3. Read them and weep. I recommend this little tome for every throne room where young adults and the young-at-heart hang out; certainly for waiting rooms and clinics. Give a copy to someone as they head into puberty or to that good friend who's on her 7th relationship or that buddy you just know is going to blow it with his newest. And if you think you're free and clear, read the book yourself, just to make sure, naturally!"

From the Author
This book can help you change your life.
This is what I hope to be the definitive book about loveaddiction. If you think you already know everything about this disorder, you may be surprised. I am a recovering love addict and I try to bring fresh insights in this new edition of my book. In straightforward language, I explain how the fatal-attraction love addict differs from the Casanova type, or from the person who is trapped in an "I-hate-you-don't-leave-me" relationship. I also discuss the love addict who breaks the law in the name of love--the kind of love addict you read about in the newspaper. Even relationships with parents, children, siblings, or friends may be addictive. Dependency is not always related to romantic love. I also provide an in-depth and easy-to-follow recovery program for those suffering from this often dangerous addiction. And I tell you how to create a loving and fulfilling relationship in place of an addictive one. As a teacher and author I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of people with this painful disorder. I would like to help you as well with this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, insightful and easy to read, 14 May 1999
By A Customer
This book helped me see and understand some unhealthy patterns in my current relationship. If you have relationships that continue to go sour or if you see recurring patterns in your current relationship, I would recommend this book to you. If you are constantly hoping, wishing and waiting for the other person to change, read this book. It helps you realize the changes that need to come from within and how to realize those changes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the well read self helper, 2 May 2006
By E. Cook (North West London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Love addiction is not a light subject to tackle. I first acknowledged that I had a problem with sex and love over a year and a half ago and as most people know when they discover they have an issue they try and find as many books covering the subject as possible. Almost becoming obsessed with trying to find a cure or better still believing it isn't happening.

When I went to my first meeting a lady recommended this book to me. I must admit that I've been reading self-help books for nearly 6 years now, and have come to see the good ones from the bad. Because of this I found the title to be basic in its structure and diagnosis. Of course It is very good for the first time self helper looking for some answers, yet I'm afraid it doesn't delve enough into the subject for the person who needs more. It does touch on some great subjects yet again it skims too many complex issues, which really need a whole book dedicated to each one of them. For example they touch on Identity in a paragraph - which as many women love addicts know this is a fundamental element to the acting out. Some women use men to make them feel like a woman. I felt that she did not give enough help and resource to give the reader other options in exploring this fact. I would say that goes for many of the chapters. Not enough insight with little reassurance.

There are other sex and love addiction books that cover the actual addiction rather than tackling the whole healing process too. The fact is that the reader never feels like they've had their worries allayed. I finished the book thinking that it was a little too basic. I also have a problem with the religious tone of the book, which I know many of the American self help titles seem to focus so heavily on. If you like that then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unlike other love addiction/codependency books, 14 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This book offers so many tools to help you recognize your patterns & how to work through them to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Have read it 3 times and find some new tool each time, possibly growing as I go. Excellent
