Facing Codependence: What it is. Where it Comes from. How it Sabotages Our Lives: What It Is. Where It Comes From. How It Sabotages Our Lives

"This book could not have been written by anyone other than a person that has suffered from codependent adult behaviour traits and patterns unless they had experienced themselves. Pia Melody has put together a marvelllously insightful book. I have looked at Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy and Religion in order to understand Why am I like I am? This book gives me the answer to that question and offers me hope that in recognising it I can overcome the detrimental effects of codependent behaviour and move forward aware and able to change in order to have healthier relationships with both myself and others.

"I approached the reading of this book with a little skepticism but having read it, now wholeheartedly recommend it to others. What this book does that I havent seen done before, is to explain WHY we feel like we do, and HOW our childhood has so profoundly influenced us. In addition it provides excellent advice for parents in avoiding the pitfalls of causing our own children to act and think disfunctionally. The advice on how to get "better" is a little shallow and I didn't like the many additional references to Pia Mellody's other offerings.
Apart from this, a really excellent book."
