Synopsis

Author Melody Beattie's Codependent No More spent an astonishing three years on theNew York Times best-seller list and made "codependent" a household word. In this thoughtful sequel, she offers further helpful advice for making permanent, positive lifestyle changes. Alcoholism, drug abuse and similar destructive practices can render families dysfunctional. When the children of these families become adults, they sometimes develop self-defeating survival tactics, such as low self-esteem or an obsession with controlling another person's behavior. To help those stuck in codependent cycles identify and eliminate such troubling issues from their relationships, Beattie shares wisdom gained from years of experience. Beyond Codependency is a sensitive and supportive book that encourages listeners to adopt a practical approach when confronting their own unhealthy and unproductive behaviors. As she did with the original, narrator Christina Moore lends her reassuring voice to this important book. "[An] encouraging sequel to Beattie's groundbreaking book on the dynamics of codependency."-Publishers Weekly

this was the first book my therapist recommended me to read in the three years we've been talking, so i knew it was going to be a doozy. from beginning to end, Beattie tackles the various aspects of life where codependency can root and take form. i used to think of codependency purely in a place of......more

Goodreads review by Jed on January 19, 2009

Can't say I "enjoyed" reading this book, but it did help me see how alcoholism in my family history has created unhealthy behaviors, even generations away from the problem. Good stuff. More people (especially where I come from in the Midwest) would be well to learn more about this coping strategy wh......more
