| Adams, Kenneth M | Silently Seduced: When Parents Make their Children Partners: Understanding Covert Incest | 1991 | 1558741313 | When a parent's love for a child is more expecting than giving, more jealous than trusting, more confining than freeing, more intrusive than nurturing, the child can become trapped in a "psychological marriage" with the parent, becoming a victim of covert incest. Identification of this problem is often difficult, for the victim often feels idealized and privileged rather than violated and abused. In Silently Seduced, Dr. Adams, through illustrative case examples and perceptive insight, provides covert incest victims a framework to understand what happened to them, how their lives and relationships continue to be affected and how to begin the process of recovery. | 118 | $7.95 | Sex and Incest Abuse, Sex Addiction |

0062553844 1567312187 | Where recovery began for many people, this inspiring, straightforward, personal explanation of what codependency is and who has it gives listeners the option to change unhealthy behaviors and stressful relationships, as they rediscover hope, guidance, and encouragement. Much of the attention in our self-help-absorbed world is focused on the addict -- the compulsive, chemically dependent person who uses alcohol or other drugs to anesthetize the pain of day-to-day living. But what about the other victims of addiction -- the spouses, families, and caretakers suffering (not so quietly) in the background, so involved in the addict's problems that they are unable to identify and solve their own? There are myriad books and programs dealing with addiction, but only a handful of them address the specific issues of codependency. This two-books-in-one volume provides a complete blueprint for codependent recovery. Written with warmth, gentleness, and great compassion by Melody Beattie, "Codependent No More" has been a healing touchstone for millions, pointing the way to a lifetime of health, hope, and happiness. Its sequel "Beyond Codependency" journeys to the very heart of recovery to address many important issues. Two classic books in the field of mental health. | 242 | $8.98 | Codependency |

Through personal examples and exercises, readers are shown how controlling others forces them to lose sight of their own needs and happiness. Beattie reveals the futility of trying to control someone else's behavior, and the freedom that comes from taking responsibility for yourself.

1992 1993 | 0894867962 034537455X | Codependency is a relationship problem and at times many of us feel frustrated by its relentless pull. Although we've learned to recognize the pitfalls, we need daily reinforcement to deepen our recovery process and keep it moving forward. For all of us recovering from codependency, especially those working the Twelve Steps, "Talk, Trust, and Feel" offers inspiring perspectivves from Hazelden's leading voices. The book guides us in our practice of new behaviors that allow us to honor ourselves and other people as we move through recovery. Brian DesRoches provides the key to our greatest challenge in working through conflict -- to let go of our desire to change the other person. Veronica Ray discusses delusions and misconceptions about caretaking, and how to take responsibility for self, letting others do the same, with love. And Melody Beattie redefines "relapse" as "recycling" -- a normal occurrence in every recovery that gives us a chance to work and learn. Reassuring insights from these and other special Hazelden authors make this collection a vital tool for all of us continuing on our journey toward wholeness. |

But in order to accomplish this, the notion of "partnership" itself must be radically reinvented.

Everyone, say the authors, is really made up of an inner family -- several children of various ages and characters, each of whom vies for control in one's life, as well as an inner grown-up capable of learning to care for them. The book's aim is to help the reader re-educate the inner grown-up to love unconditionally, opening the way for profound healing of psychic wounds. Written as a self-help manual to be used by the reader alone or with the help of a "healing companion," How to Love Yourself proves that self-love and recovery can be achieved through an understanding of the often fractured family within. | 192 | $12.95 | Self-love, Inner Child |

| Bradshaw, John | Family Secrets, What You Don't Know Can Hurt You | 1995 | 0553095919 | With a quarter-million-copy first printing, simultaneous audiobook release, and a new PBS series, self-help psychology guru Bradshaw returns with a vengeance. The subject of his multimedia barrage is the bad stuff family members hide from each other. These dark secrets, as Bradshaw calls them, range from relatively undamaging events concerning death, birth, and suffering to severely, even criminally harmful acts, including alcoholism, incest, and murder. In the book's three major parts, Bradshaw distinguishes healthy from unhealthy secrets, proffers a tool for self-ascertainment of family secrets, and counsels those who unearth dark secrets on what to do with their discoveries. In an appendix, he distinguishes the much-publicized phenomenon of repressed memory from false memory syndrome. The latter, he says, though vociferously advocated by those victimized by family members claiming to recall incest and other enormities, has not been clearly defined by clinicians. He does not, however, clearly indicate what clinicians like him mean when they say, as he does in "A Final Word of Caution," "The traumatic abuse of children by their guardians and relatives occurs with great frequency." What is "great frequency" ? Is this a statement about Bradshaw's clientele, or is he asserting that American society is rife with interfamilial abuse? If the former, it's understandable; if the latter, many will condemn Bradshaw, not unjustifiably, for being an alarmist bent on aggrandizing his trade. | 297 | Family | |

| Brooks, Gary R | The Centerfold Syndrome: How Men Can Overcome Objectification and Achieve Intimacy with Women | 1995 | 0787901040 | Gary R. Brooks, Ph.D., is an associate professor in psychiatry and behavioral science with the Texas A&M University Health Sciences Center. It's no secret that millions of men read magazines like Playboy and Penthouse and lust after bikini-clad models. After all, guys will be guys, and what's the harm? Plenty! claims the author of this ground-breaking book that shows how many so-called normal male attitudes toward sex are actually harmful and destructive. He identifies the five principal symptoms of this pervasive disorder: voyeurism (I can't stop watching gorgeous women), objectification (obsessive fetishism over body parts that interferes with the ability to have relationships with an actual person; the need for validation (women have great power to make or break my sense of masculinity), trophyism (Beautiful women are collectibles that show the world who a man is) and the fear of intimacy (I'm desperately lonely but deeply fearful of getting too close.) Here is the first candid analysis of how boys are conditioned to pursue airbrushed photo fantasies, and how they're brought up to depend upon and yet fear the perceived power women hold over them as gatekeepers to a previous commodity - their objectified bodies! And even more importantly how this syndrome prevents true emotional intimacy between men and women. But he also offers a way to overcome this destructive malady. Using actual case histories and transcripts from groups he has led over many years, he documents how a variety of men from different backgrounds have struggled to escape the depersonalization, the isolation and the sense of frustration and powerlessness in this syndrome. Both men and women will appreciate the candor in this book. He offers specifis guildelines and practical plans of action for all of us in our various roles - as friends, lovers, partners, husbands, wives, parents, responsbile citizens -- in an era of changing gender relations. | 244 | $35.00 | Pornography, Intimacy |

| Clark, J Michael | Doing the Work of Love: Men and Commitment in Same-Sex Couples | 1999 | 0967179408 0967179416 | This is a groundbreaking book that crestes an important bridge between academic work on men and sexulaity and popular unreflective work on gay male relationships. Exploring intimate, coupled relationships among men, especially among gay men, the author celebrates embodied, sensual, sexual goodness of men's sexual relationships, while adamantly rejecting an "anything goes" approach to gay male sexuality or to sexuality in general. The author proposes an ethics of sexual accountability in-relation as a middle ground between those who espouse anonymous multi-partnered sex as the crux of gay identity and those whose current sex panic resounds with sex-negativity. | 156 172 | GLBT commitment | |

| Cloud, Henry | Changes That Heal |
1993 1997 | 0310606314 0310214637 | Many of us struggle with depression, anxiety, panic, addictions, and guilt. Often the source of this pain lies buried in patterns of behavior that we learned as children and continue to practice today. Because or poor parenting or childhood trauma, our growth toward maturity slows or stops entirely. To become mature image-bearers of God, says Dr. Henry Cloud, we most learn to do four things: bond to others; separate from others (boundaries); accept both the good and bad in life; and take charge of our lives. All of us must accomplish these things to heal our inner pain and to enable us to function and grow emotionally and spiritually. In "Changes That Heal," Dr. Cloud explains each of these needs. Then he identifies problems that arise when they are not met, and shows what changes to make to bring healing. With solid scriptural insights, Changes That Heal helps listeners form healthy relationships with themselves, others, and God -- relationships that will bring new richness and purpose to life. | 272 368 |
