An excellent well rounded approach October 11, 2008

This title is amazing in its well rounded approach to dealing with addiction to another person. Using both stories and psychological analysis it is able to not only help you understand where the feelings of addiction come from, but it also helps you realize that you can overcome these crippling emotional ties. I found myself interested in the progress and stories of the individuals in the book which made the book a very easy read. While many self-help books can be weighty and difficult to finish, I found myself wanting to pick this book up again and again.

Very poor service, either from the sender or from Amazon. As a long time Amazon client, I'm disappointed that I never received this item.

I am not a fool, after all! September 10, 2008

This book told me a lot of things I already knew about Attachment Hunger, but made me feel a lot less stupid about returning to the same person over and over. It makes me understand that I am overvaluing one person's opinion and gave solid tips for moving forward. Highly recommend it to anyone who has difficulty letting go of a particular person.

Excellent book to discover your "love addiction" issues, childhood issues and taking back your life! July 20, 2008
This book by far was the key to me being able to break the pattern of unhealthy relationships. Love addiction, codenpendency is very real and very deep seeded. This book is the manual for learning how to identify why and how bad relationships keep happening..and how to break the addiction.

A classic that still rings true February 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I first read this book in the early 80's, highlighted it, worked through parts of it, and felt that it helped me tremendously. Over the years I've kept my original copy (which is now yellowed and stained) and I still return to it to remind myself of the truths which are so well presented. The material is clear, not condescending, and for those brave enough to put Dr. Halpern's recommendations into practice - invaluable! I can honestly say this little old paperback has changed my life for the better - more than once.
