Publisher's Summary:

More than personal boundaries, this book is really about relationships - healthy and unhealthy ones. Here best-selling author and psychotherapist Charles Whitfield blends theories and dynamics from several disciplines into practical knowledge and actions that your can use in your relationships right now.

This comprehensive book opens with clear definitions and descriptions of boundaries, a self-assessment survey, and a history of our accumulated knowledge. Going deeper, it describes the 10 essential areas of human interaction wherein you can improve your relationships. These include age regression, giving and receiving (projection and projective identification), triangles, core recovery issues, basic dynamics, unfinished business, and spirituality. It shows in countless practical ways how knowledge of each of these is most useful in your recovery and everyday life.

Members Reviews:

Not worth it.

Reads like a bad text book, or book report. Many, many, many better books on boundaries out there for consumers. Found the terminology, structure, and layout confusing at best. The author's repeated references to their other books was annoying, and frequent citations of others' works distracting and unnecessary. Nothing presented in the first third of the book (as far as I could get before I started looking into whether I even COULD return an ebook) was novel or even interesting. I have very, very rarely not read a book to the end and this one is on that list. Better spend your $9.10 elsewhere.

A must read for anyone in a relationship of any kind - so yea, pretty much everybody ;o)

Very, Very, Very Helpful book. Reads like a textbook so you need time to concentrate, but this book really offered life changing advice (which I don't say lightly). This is one of those books that you read and realize that you are not alone. You realize that someone else has figured their way out of the tangle of confusion that you have found yourself in, and they know the way out! Very comforting and encouraging! I am very grateful that this book crossed my path. Very insightful!

Compassionate, Insightful and Instructive

Dr. Whitfield has written a comprehensive book on recognizing, setting and maintaining boundaries. There is information about how boundaries are violated, what it might feel like to the individual and how to get your boundaries back and keep them. "Boundaries" is filled with compassionate insights for those who have experienced childhood trauma, become codependent and want to break free and reclaim their soul, body, and spirit. Enlightening and informative. I learned a lot and much of the content hit home.

Are you constantly getting run over?

This book is for the person whose mom and dad only told them about the birds and bees.... and nothing about how to be social without getting the crap beat out of you emotionally. If you cant explain boundaries, when to use them, what types there are, and how to have good relationships, then you may want to read this. I thought it was great.

Highly Recommend This Book

Excellent book explaining boundaries. It helped clear up a lot of misunderstandings that I had on the topic.
