Summary:

"This book is about working effectively with dependent patients. It discusses cutting-edge treatment techniques, outlines strategies for diagnosing dependency, and reviews procedures for assessing dependency-related personality dynamics that are not captured by formal diagnostic criteria. The central premise of this book is straightforward: Dependency is an important issue in clinical practice, but it is also a ubiquitous feature of human experience. We are, in the end, social creatures, bound to each other from our first days to our last. Thus, effective clinical work with dependent patients does not involve quashing dependency in all its forms, but replacing unhealthy dependency with healthy connectedness"--Preface.
