Are you unable to leave a love relationship even though it gives you more pain than joy? Your judgment and self-respect tell you to end it, but still, to your dismay, you hang on. You are addicted—to a person. Now there is an insightful, step-by-step guide to breaking that addiction—and surviving the split. Drawing on dozens of provocative case histories, psychotherapist Howard Halpern explains to you:
  • Why you can get addicted to a person.

  • Why and how you may try to deceive yourself. ("He really loves me, he just doesn't know how to show it.")

  • How you can recognize the symptoms of a bad relationship.

  • How to deal with the power moves and guilt trips your partner uses to hold you.

  • Why strong feelings of jealousy do not mean you are "in love."

  • How to get through the agonizing breakup period—without going back.
