It is concise but thorough, and the writing and organization is professional and the research well documented.<br /> The development of this disorder is clearly explained and although the primary emphasis is on relationships with addicted individuals, other types of relationships that may also be present in the lives of codependent individuals are also presented for a clearer picture of the insidious nature of this condition.<br /> Clear steps to identifying the disorder are outlined, as well as specific actions and attitudes necessary to elicit change.<br /> Codependency is presented in all its complexity, instead of victimizing the codependent person as an 'enabler' of addicted persons.<br /> I highly recommend this book.</em></p><p> </p><p>Charity</p><p><em>5.0 out of 5 stars </em></p><p><strong>Profound</strong></p><p>March 30, 2019</p><p>Format: Paperback</p><p><em>I would give this 100 stars if I could.

I never thought of myself as codependent considering how independent I am. But till I read this book I didnt know how many different types of codependent behavior there are. Many times you realize your unstable with relationships but never know what is being done wrong. Listing to this book I love the way it not only tells you what is being done wrong but why it is wrong and what are the consequences for both parties in the relationship. Wether in a platonic or romantic relationships. The way the author outlines this book i can follow along able to relate it to my past relationship or conditions, where I am in the process and (i still reading the book) i look forward to what it suggests I should do or continue doing.</em></p><br>
