Deep Recovery: How to Use Your Most Difficult Relationships to Find Out Who You Are!
With so many books about recovery on the market, one may wonder why another has been published. However, Parker, a psychiatrist, here offers new ways of looking at recovery that may be beneficial. Two elements of his study which stand out are that the word "codependency" is not used (Parker prefers to use the term "dependency"); and types of dependency are divided into two classes (the "Lone Ranger" and the "Willing Victim"). Parker offers other helpful insights, and while his viewpoints may provoke some controversy, he deserves to be read. For large psychology collections.-Barbara L.
