Playing It by Heart; Taking Care of Yourself No Matter What

The effects of codependency that Melody Beattie describes in her work are pervasive, and people often fall back into old, familiar ways that only serve to increase the problem. In Playing It by Heart, the author focuses on fear and how it controls people's lives through victim behavior and repeated patterns of self-defeating action. As one who has lived through what she describes - Beattie is a recovering alcoholic and codependent - she speaks authoritatively about building inner resources and developing the basis for truly sound relationships.
