"A truly clear and accessible book that provides solid information, as well as techniques, on the basics of balancing intimacy and autonomy so that it leads to healthy dependency."
--Harold Cook, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, and Founding and Past President of the Psychoanalytic Research Society
"Translating research findings into everyday language and into principles of behavior change, Healthy Dependency is an excellent, practical guide to improving interpersonal relations. I immediately began applying this information to myself. There is a very clear description of dependency issues and practical suggestions about changing one's interpersonal style with partners, friends, family, and colleagues. In these difficult times, it is important to find the right balance between independence and reaching out to others for support. This book helps one find that balance."
--Sandra W. Russ, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Case Western University, and Past President of the Society for Personality Assessment
"When two psychologists married to one another are able to co-author a book about healthy dependency, you can be sure they know something about it. The alternatives to healthy dependency skew in the direction of detachment or overdependence. This is a real self-help book that demonstrates how to maintain a healthy balance between these two distortions of healthy dependency."
--Ethel Spector Person, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Columbia University, and author of Feeling Strong: The Achievement of Authentic Power
"In a world in which time, energies, and emotions are fragmented and an increasing dependence on technology can isolate and detach people from each other, this book offers good advice on maintaining the right connections."
--Publishers Weekly
