Here bestselling author and psychotherapist Charles Whitfield blends theories and dynamics from several disciplines into practical knowledge and actions that your can use in your relationships right now. This comprehensive book opens with clear definitions and descriptions of boundaries, a self-assessment survey and a history of our accumulated knowledge. Going deeper, it describes the 10 essential areas of human interaction wherein you can improve your relationships. These include age regression, giving and receiving (projection and projective identification), triangles, core recovery issues, basic dynamics, unfinished business and spirituality. It shows in countless practical ways how knowledge of each of these is most useful in your recovery and everyday life. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - best book I have ever readi have had many a problem over the years with boundaries and this book has helped me 100% and I recommend it for anyone who may be co-dependant especially. Rating:  - Just okayThe author keeps referring to his other books. If you have not read these you may have trouble keeping up. Rating: - As it is said, `An oldie, but a goodie'.

His writing tended to be dry and pedantic. I found myself getting irritated at all the charts and tables, which I don't find helpful in elucidating psychological dynamics ... but then, different people learn in different ways. After awhile, I found myself reading the most pithy portions of the narrative and skipping the rest. Rating: - Too much waffleIt's longwinded and while it has some interesting insights,it's very poor on actually setting boundaries.Look for something else if you want to set boundaries.Disappointing.
