Understanding Codependency (Updated and Expanded): The Science Behind It and How to Break the Cycle
Authors: Dr. Joseph Cruse, M.D. & Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse
First published decades ago, Understanding Codependency reshaped how the world viewed codependent relationships, offering clarity and hope for millions of people struggling with unhealthy relational patterns. Now fully revised and expanded, this updated edition integrates the latest research on trauma, brain functioning, and addiction to deepen our understanding of codependency and provide practical tools for lasting change.
In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Joseph Cruse, founding medical director of The Betty Ford Center, reveals how codependent behaviors are rooted in brain chemistry, trauma, and self-worth struggles. He explains how denial and low self-esteem perpetuate unhealthy cycles and offers readers updated case studies, real-life examples, and hands-on exercises designed to help break free.
This expanded edition confirms:
- Codependency is not a life sentence—it is a cycle that can be broken.
- Healing involves addressing trauma, reworking patterns of self-worth, and learning to build healthy, fulfilling connections.
- With the right understanding, anyone can move beyond codependency into relationships grounded in respect, balance, and authenticity.
For anyone who suspects they are codependent, lives with a codependent, or loves someone caught in the cycle, this book provides not only understanding but also a roadmap toward freedom.
