The Enabler: When Helping Hurts the Ones You Love Paperback – Import, 1 October 2001

This book is easy to read and very helpfully with relating to others.

I have read a few books on enabler/ dependant relationships and I must say I did find this book really well written and helpful. The author put her points across in a manner that worked for me. If you want a clear vision of the different facets of an enabling relationship read this book

Easy read, short and concise and to the point. Very helpful in reminding us in those weak moments, when we forget and put everyone else first, fooling ourselves that we are doing them a favor. Being an enabler only contributes to our own health issues. DEFINITELY recommended for EVERYONE to read.

Aus meiner Sicht ein Buch für uns alle, da in unserer Wohlstandsgesellschaft "Enabling" weit verbreitet ist. Da die Autorin aus persönlicher Erfahrung berichtet ist eine Stärke.

If you want to understand enabling and depending, without reading an encyclopaedia on the subject, this is a good book for you.It is not just an overview, it gets to the meat of the matter. I appreciate this approach.It explains clearly the patterns, why they may develop, how to help your self as an enabler and explains why ceasing unhealthy behavior will help you and the person you are enabling to be a better functioning person. So win-win.Give helpful suggestions. Quick read.
