The New Codependency: Help and Guidance for Today's Generation

This book was helpful! Read this instead of Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No...by John Townsend and Henry Cloud. I did like Codependent No More more than this book. I liked this book alot more than Boundaries this book was a much easier read and had better advice in my opinion. If you are in an abusive relationship or recovering from one I would also recommend: -10 Lifesaving Principles for Women in Difficult Marriages by Karla Downing -Why does he do that? By Lundy Bancroft -The Verbally abusive relationship By Patricia Evans -Not to People Like Us By Susan Weitzman -The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner -Love, Honor and Negotiate by Betty Carter

After reading Women Who Love too Much, Codependent No More, Beyond Codependency, I still felt had unsolved issues and unanswered questions. This book answered them all! My realization of its success was after months when I realized its positive super effect on me. I watched my gradual behaviour change which made me a happier person. The friends who I passed this book over also feel relieved about their unsolved and leftout issues after reading it. I advise it to everyone who feel they need to read a bit more about Codependency...

Even if you've read her first books on codependency, visit this one. It's up to date, highly informative, helpful, and encouraging! Highly recommended!

This is a mature writer's book and an essential guide to better relationships with others and better care for oneself.

Melody Beattie writes very practical, useful books that are so helpful to those dealing with this topic. The mixture of personal stories, questions to ponder and content to think about is wonderful and has never disappointed me.

This newest edition of Beatie's is easy to understand and very helpful. I especially enjoyed the section on assessments in order to better understand behaviors.
