No More Codependency (Paperback)

Paperback edition of the book that has already helped thousands of people overcome codependency.

Codependency never again introduces us to the concept of codependency, a set of compulsive behaviors acquired as a means of survival by people experiencing stress and great emotional pain. It's quite likely that the codependent has spent a long time reacting to deficient, yet powerful, family systems.

Codependency Never Again highlights the most common behaviors of codependents and guides them toward recovery, helping them realize their important and possibly most neglected responsibility: self-care. The book presents dozens of real-life cases, personal reflections, exercises, and tests, and is a bestseller in the United States, Brazil, and several other countries.

Author Melody Beattie wrote this book in the 1980s to overcome her own suffering after a difficult separation. Drawing on her personal experience, she dedicated herself to the work and realized that all a codependent person needs is affection and information. This is what sets the book apart: it's personal and informative.
