This revised edition builds on the model, revealing many more ways to put the method into practice and strategies for setting healthy boundaries. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDo you love an addict?

If our treatment toward loved ones of addicts alienates them, it's time we change our approach. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With \u003ci\u003eProdependence\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Robert Weiss offers us the first fully new paradigm in nearly 40 years for helping those who love and care for addicts. An attachment-focused model, prodependence recognizes that no one can ever love too much, nor should anyone be pathologized for whomever they choose to love as is often the case. \u003ci\u003eProdependence\u003c\/i\u003e informs caregivers how to love more effectively, but without having to bear a negative label for the valuable support they give. When treating loved ones of addicts and other troubled people using prodependence, we need not find something \"wrong\" with them. Instead, we acknowledge the trauma and inherent dysfunction that occurs when living in relationship with someone whose life is failing and keep moving forward. Validating a caregiver's painful journey for what it is opens the door to support them in useful, non-shaming ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Helping people take incremental, positive steps toward intimate healing is what \u003ci\u003eProdependence \u003c\/i\u003eis all about!\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Weiss, PhD, LCSW, \u003c\/b\u003e is chief clinical officer of Seeking Integrity LLC, working with sex, porn, and substance\/sex-addicted men.
