Books : Facing Love Addiction: Giving Yourself the Power to Change the Way You Love .
Rating: 
- American Psycho-babble
The theory and model proposed in this book is a bit dated. It was gospel in 1992 and Pia Mellody was a household name with therapists and their clients in the UK. Many clients had it shoved down their neck as "the truth". I guess you would have to read it for yourself to know what everyone was raving about then, but I wouldn't bother reading it today. At the end of the day, it is only one theory to explain the complexity of human relationships, and a pretty limited one. People are much more complex than the simple attraction/avoidance dance she illustrates. Life has moved on and there are many more realistic theories and models now.

- American Blah Blah but some things useful
wouldn't buy this book to save a relationship. but there were a few enlightening moments.
Rating:
- both technical and approachable
It took me a second reading to recognise the depth of insight which Pia mellody has to the problems of 'love addicts' and the avoidant partners who they suck in and are sucked towards. The book is by no means light and easy reading but it is structured in a way which will help anyone who truly wants to to benefit from it.
