Description
The groundbreaking bestseller on codependence--with more 600,000 copies sold--is now revised and updated to reflect more than 15 years of research and clinical work at the renowned Meadows Institute.
In Facing Codependence, Pia Mellody creates a framework for identifying codependent thinking, emotions, and behavior and provides an effective approach to recovery. Mellody sets forth five primary adult symptoms of this crippling condition, then traces their origin to emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, and sexual abuses that occur in childhood. Central to Mellody's approach is the concept that the codependent adult's injured inner child needs healing. Recovery from codependence, therefore, involves clearing up the toxic emotions left over from these painful childhood experiences.
