Co-dependency has finally become recognized in the late 1980s as a
legitimate and a key issue in the chemical dependency field. Most
of the literature available on the topic is addressed to the
consumer--the co-dependent individual. In Co-dependency, leading
therapists share some remarkable insights into the characteristics
of the alcoholic home, co-dependents'patterns of responding to the
alcoholic, and the particular problems that family members
experience as a result of the environment, including fear, shame
and guilt, anger, denial, and confusion. Clinical case material is
used to illustrate the value of helping co-dependents through
education, peer support, outpatient treatment and psychotherapy.
Creative solutions for working with lesbian and gay men and
children of alcoholics are also featured.
