The groundbreaking bookÿUnderstanding Co-Dependencyÿushered in a newÿwayÿof thinking about codependency and helped millions of peopleÿdiscover if they were co-dependent, if they were living with a co-dependent, and how to break the cycle.ÿNow, in this revised edition, Joseph Cruse, founding medical director ofÿThe Betty Ford Center,ÿprovides findingsÿand insights into codependency. Thirty years ago, clinicians viewed alcoholism as a liver disease; today research has revealed that addiction and many codependent behaviors are related to brain functioning. Cruse explores this brain connection and expands on the all-important issues of traumas it relates to codependency, denial, low self-esteem, and self-worth.ÿWith updated case studies andÿexercises,ÿUnderstanding Codependencyÿdispels the notion that the cycle of codependency can't be broken,ÿoffering readers a lifeline to the fulfilling relationships and lives they deserve.ÿ
