In "Codependent No More, " Melody Beattie introduced the world to
the term "codependency." Now a modern classic, this book
established Beattie as a pioneer in self-help literature and
endeared her to millions of readers who longed for healthier
relationships. Twenty-five years later concepts such as self-care
and setting boundaries have become entrenched in mainstream
culture. Now Beattie has written a followup volume, "The New
Codependency, " which clears up misconceptions about codependency,
identifies how codependent behavior has changed, and provides a new
generation with a road map to wellness.
The question remains: What is and what is not codependency?
Beattie here reminds us that much of codependency is normal
behavior. It's about crossing lines. There are times we do too
much, care too much, feel too little, or overly engage. Feeling
resentment after giving is not the same as heartfelt generosity.
Narcissism and self-love, enabling and nurturing, and controlling
and setting boundaries are not interchangeable terms. In "The New
Codependency, " Beattie explores these differences, effectively
invoking her own inspiring story and those of others, to empower us
to step out of the victim role forever. Codependency, she shows, is
not an illness but rather a series of behaviors that once broken
down and analyzed can be successfully combated.
Each section offers an overview of and a series of activities
pertaining to a particular behavior -- caretaking, controlling,
manipulation, denial, repression, etc. -- enabling us to
personalize our own step-bystep guide to wellness. These sections,
in conjunction with a series of tests allowing us to assess the
level of our codependent behavior, demonstrate that while it may
not seem possible now, we have the power to take care of ourselves,
no matter what we are experiencing.
Punctuated with Beattie's renowned candor and intuitive wisdom,
"The New Codependency" is an owner's manual to learning to be who
we are and gives us the tools necessary to reclaim our lives by
renouncing unhealthy practices.
