Synopsis
Pia Mellody, author of "Facing Codependence" and "Breaking
Free" turns her attention to the toxic experience of a co-addicted
relationship. She argues that co-addiction and co-dependence, often confused
with one another, are not the same thing - co-dependence is about how a
relationship with oneself fails, whereas co-addiction is the result of an
unhealthy entanglement with another. The book explores in detail the dynamics,
the symptoms and the stages (from attraction to obsession) of a co-addicted
relationship, and outlines a practical recovery process for the love addict.
