Breaking Free of the Co-Dependency Trap

Rating:
Summary: Jungian garbage!
Review: As a physician I have recommended this book to over a hundred patients and have had uniformly positive feedback. Comments such as "I can't thank you enough", "Great book", "It really helped me". Codependency is explained in this book from it's roots and then the reader is taken on a journey to explore it's effect on their lives. Codependency is a very pervasive problem and accounts for generational dysfunction and destruction of family systems. I have read many books on addiction/family issues and this is absolutely the best of them all.

Summary: Jungian garbage!
Review: This book has too much of that: "Oh a cat
fell into my car through my sunroof and
relieved itself on my back seat, therefore
the 'universe' is trying to tell me something,"
kind of attitude. Give me a break.
The authors actually seem to believe that a woman
dragged off the street along with her bicycle
by a random murderer (she was saved by an unknown
man who came along - the person was trying to murder
her) had that happen to her because of some Jungian
gestalt. Gag me. Can I have something really helpful?

Summary: An Engineer's Perspective
Review: This book redefines the term co-dependency. It is an unfortunate confusion which will cause some readers to find the book objectionable. In reference to another reviewer, if anyone uses this as their only source of resolution in a troubled marriage I think I would have a clue as to why their marriage is troubled. This book predates the Weinholds most complete work, "Conflict Resolution". I have read all of their books, and have studied with them. Their philosophy is not a spiritual vortex of ungrounded ether. It is a solid philosophy that takes into account the convergence of psychology, religion, and physical science. I recommend it only to open minded readers who are willing to stretch their limits. For those who are interested in "real growth" I recommend their book, "Conflict Resolution".
