About this title

Synopsis

Discusses the nature of alcoholism, tells how to overcome the problem of codependency, and describes treatment programs

Reviews

A clinical psychologist specializing in addictive disorders, Wassmer writes from personal experience concerning the syndrome of codependency. He emphasizes the concept of alcoholism as disease--"genetic, metabolic, progressive and ultimately terminal"--as he marshals facts and uses personal vignettes to illustrate and explore the devastation wrought by alcoholism or other addiction to the lives of addict and codependent. For a relationship to survive, stresses Wassmer, both addict and codependent must recover together. Major sections provide a clear understanding of what addiction is and is not, explore the nature of codependency, and examine various sources of help. Especially valuable are the excellent guidelines for evaluating individuals and organizations that offer help to alcoholics and their families. Well written and empathic. Recommended.
