Melody Beattie's compassionate and insightful look into codependency-the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping another-has guided millions of readers toward the understanding that they are powerless to change anyone but themselves and that caring for the self is where healing begins. This revised edition includes an all-new chapter on trauma and anxiety-subjects Beattie has long felt necessary to address within the context of codependency-making it even more relevant today than it was when it first entered the national conversation over thirty-five years ago.
