In Facing Co-Dependence, Pia Mellody traces the origin of the disease back to childhood, reveals the structure of co-dependence as it operates in everyday life and relationships, and outlines an effective therapy to take you off the path of dependency and addiction and onto the path of healthy, mature relationships. Read by the author on one cassette. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A ClassicMellody and her coauthors, to the everlasting benefit of the practice of psychology, do their part to rescue the technique of digging through the past from its Freudian fixation on Oedipus. Using a working definition of childhood "abuse" as any behavior by caregivers that is "less than nurturing," she relentlessly and in gruesome detail disects the roots of dysfunctional adulthood dependencies. I agree with the reviewer who complained that the term "codependence" has become ... Read More Rating:  - CULT Snake Oil - BEWARE!Orange Papers verbatim: The A.A. God: The A.A. God is the generic brand that comes in a plain white box at the supermarket. The A.A. God has a lot of will.

For me, this was the first semi-clinical book which explored how codependency is not only behavior inherited but can also be passed on down to the next generation, even coming from a parent with the best intentions completely unaware of the problem. The author has a deep awareness of the problem's subtleties and this is certainly one of the pioneer books that should be in every library concerning codependency. Rating: - Parenting (and Re-Parenting) 101In what may be one of the best books ever on functional parenting, Mellody and the Millers have tackled the single most common psychiatric phenomenon of our time, deconstructed it into language most can grasp, and set forth a means of re-parenting those who didn't get the real deal the first time around. For mental health professionals, this may also be one of the best books available for patient (with sufficient ego strength) and/or family education on Kernberg / Preston Level One and Two ... Read More Rating:  - If you know you're not crazy but at the same time you think you are ....When a few month ago a person who I felt and thought was most important to me came into my life and my husband disagreed, I was thrown into a huge personal crisis. Little did I know much less understand that the heart of the problem lay in my co-dependence. I was very lucky because through friends of mine I found a therapist who knew about and taught me about co-dependence. Suddenly all of the contradictions - which seemed to indicate to me that I must be crazy - started to make sense. To supplement and ... Read More
