Summary: The Co-dependent Construct
Comment: I found Dr. Stan J. Katz and Aimee E. Liu's wonderful book The Co-dependency Conspiracy: How to Break the Recovery Habit and Take Charge of Your Life only last week after six hours of satisfied reading I knew that I had found a very well written book on the same subject as the book I have just leashed upon the co-dependency/12 step world.
I was very unhappy to find that The Co-dependency Conspiracy is out of print -Dr. Stan and Ms. Aimee, dust this work off and get it back in print- for it is time for the Co-dependency Cult to be ousted from the temple they have usurped from rational treatment. Then real mental health treatment can care for those who need it.
The Co-dependency Conspiracy, presents addiction issues and the co-dependent construct in real psychological light which shows that neater are victimizing diseases that must be treated for life. In the case of addictions, there is the ability to recover fully and no need to be in some 12-step recovery room for the rest of your life. The 12-steps have been shown, by real science, to be a useless treatment model anyway. In addition, in this exceptional work, it is exposed that co-dependency disorder is a cult like fundamentalist religion not a real disorder. That is why you will never find co-dependency disorder listed in the DSM IV and why I spell it as co-dependency not codependency for it is not only a made-up disorder but a made-up word as well.
As I have said many times before: co-dependent disorder is not a real emotional disorder, never was and never will be. At best, the construct is the foolish ravings of abstemious substance abusers who have fried their brain cells with drugs and/or boiled them in alcohol and are now trying to tell you how to live your life. This is to stop living your life and hand it over to their control.
The unsuspecting public needs to stop being so naive and the best way to open ones eyes to the truth about this manipulating co-dependent cult is to read The Co-dependency Conspiracy: How to Break the Recovery Habit and Take Charge of Your Life. Will many do that? I think not, for some people want to be seen as victims and to give control of their life to others' domination.

Comment: A good straightforward corrective to the gooey, new agey codependency stuff. Great if you want to take responsibility and quit your bad habits and choices without spending the rest of your life on your knees. Remember will power, at last it's coming back in style.Summed up,quit the instant gratification bs., learn some saleable skills, learn to relate to people honestly and responsibly and choose reasonable goals.A good one to read and reread until you (I) get it.
