The Best booklet on Detachment
This is absolutely the best booklet on detaching with love--a very difficult concept for caretakers and those people living with addicted people!

Good BOOKLET on important topic.
First, this is not a paperback book, but a 5 x 7 Hazelden "booklet" or pamphlet. Writings on this topic seem to be scarce: I could not find a book devoted to the subject. The author offers good advice organized in seven stages, although I could not recognize the reason for them. I could not see that the stages contained any hierarchy of development, or any transformation from simple to complex. In spite of this distraction, I feel that the author's advice is helpful and illuminating.

A Lot Packed into a Little Package
This little booklet is intense -- every time I read through it, new statements jump out at me. It is not filled with a lot of deadwood or explanations or stories or examples. Each sentence packs its own wallop, one after another, and I find it useful to read frequently. I agree that the stages do not appear to be in any particular progression, just divisions by general concept. I also read Marriage on the Rocks and this says a lot of the same things in condensed form. Recommended.
