Description
When Codependent No More was published in 1987, the concepts behind codependency were groundbreaking. Since that time, millions of people have confronted the relationship demons of codependency. The effects of codependency, however, are subtle and pervasive, and many in recovery still find themselves slipping into old behaviours.In her newest offering, Beattie helps readers understand that fear is the common denominator driving codependents to be victimized by controlling behaviours. Marked by the compassionate voice and penetrating insight for which Beattie is renowned, Playing by Heart is a masterful exploration of the healthy middle ground that lies between fear of relationships and relationship subservience. With clear, well-constructed checklists, self-tests, written exercises, and personal stories this enlightening book helps readers examine their own codependency.This book should not be missed by those recovering from chemical dependencies, healing from relationship and family problems, or anyone interested in personal growth.
