Prodependence – Moving Beyond Codependency
Author: Robert Weiss, Ph.D., MSW
Overview
Do you love an addict? Do you feel blamed or pathologized for caring too much? In Prodependence, Dr. Robert Weiss introduces the first new paradigm in over 35 years for supporting the loved ones of addicts. Moving away from the often shame-based concept of codependency, Weiss presents prodependence—an attachment-focused model that validates love and caregiving as natural human responses.
Instead of labeling partners and family members as dysfunctional, Prodependence honors the courage, devotion, and pain that comes with loving someone whose life is failing. It provides guidance on how to channel that love more effectively, without shame or blame, and offers a compassionate roadmap toward healing and healthy boundaries.
Why You’ll Love It
- Reframes caregiving from a problem into a strength-based opportunity for healing.
- Offers practical tools rooted in attachment theory for partners, spouses, and families.
- Bridges the gap between older models (codependence, trauma) and a fresh, non-shaming approach.
- Written with clarity, compassion, and decades of clinical expertise.
- Provides hope, empowerment, and validation for those who love someone struggling with addiction.
Who It’s For
- Partners, spouses, and family members of people struggling with addiction.
- Counselors, therapists, and recovery professionals seeking a new framework for client care.
- Readers who have felt alienated by traditional “codependency” labels.
- Anyone seeking a compassionate approach to navigating relationships impacted by addiction.
