The Co-Dependent Parent: Freeing Yourself by Freeing Your Child

A leading authority on parenting, Barbara Cottman Becnel describes herself as a recovering co-dependent parent. Now, in this honest, challenging, and life-sustaining book, she shows other parents the way out of co-dependency: by freeing yourself -- and your children -- from the patterns of your own dysfunctional past. Here you'll learn how to make the transition from "good" parent -- one who requires that children behave in highly defined ways to gain approval -- to responsible parent -- one who teaches children vital guidelines for maintaining self-respect and integrity. The Codependent Parent will help you initiate a recovery process that will eventually alter your life, the lives of your children, and the lives of many generations yet to come, for a healthy, happy family. 2 Cassettes (3 hours)
