A brilliant new guide to understanding the origins of codependence and the path to recovery by a nationally recognized authority on dependency and addiction. In this fresh new look at codependence, Pia Mellody traces the origins of this illness back to childhood, describing a whole range of emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and sexual abuses. Because of these earlier experiences, codependent adults often lack the skills necessary to lead mature lives and have satisfying relationships. Recovery from codependence comes from clearing up the toxic feelings left over from childhood and learning to reparent oneself by intervening on the adult symptoms of codependence. Central to Mellody's concept is the idea of the "precious child" that needs healing within each adult. She creates a framework for identifying codependent behavior and describes an effective approach to recovery that includes both therapy and self-help processes. Designed to be used with her new workbook for codependents, Breaking Free, this is a powerful tool for understanding the nature of codependence. AnnotationIn this thorough examination of codependence, Pia Mellody, who has served as a consultant at The Meadows treatment center in Wickenburg, Arizona, discusses its symptoms and causes and the many family situations that may create a codependent adult. She discusses the damage that the disease and its symptoms can wreak, and she provides ways to recognize the disease. Her full accounts of dysfunctional families and abuse patterns enable the reader to identify patterns that lead to codependence, while also suggesting ways to avoid recreating them in the next generation. Written in a loving, nurturing tone, this book offers reassurance while it instructs, and an appendix containing the history of codependence places the disease in its societal context. Anyone struggling with this insidious problem will warm to the helpful advice and information in this comprehensive guide to a common yet complex condition.
