“The Clinician's Codependency Treatment Workbook fills a void in the area of codependency, and more importantly, the entire field of psychotherapy. Nancy Johnston has taken the complicated and often misunderstood subject of codependency and broken it down into comprehensible, treatable issues. She allows us the benefit of her years of experience through this informative book, which focuses on how to recognize, conceptualize, and treat codependent behaviors from the intake forward. This treasure box is full of tools and tips for clinicians, seasoned or novice. Kudos to Nancy Johnston for this nonjudgmental, comprehensive, and groundbreaking work. What a valuable asset to the field!”

—Margaret L. Cress, MA, LMFT, co-facilitator of Codependence Camp and trainer on boundaries and codependency

“The Clinician’s Codependency Treatment Workbook is possibly the only book of its kind. Although there are several authors who have addressed codependency through a reader’s self-help perspective, Nancy Johnston instead guides the clinician in helping clients, using a well-planned and organized format. Through 66 easy-to-understand strategies, the author takes the clinician from intake and assessment to self-actualization and recovery. This is a must-have for any clinician working with clients who have relationship issues.”

—David Semanco, MAC, CAADC, CAC-AD, CSAC, president, Virginia Association of Addiction Professionals, and clinical director of an addiction treatment center

“You need this workbook! Codependency is one of the most common issues treated in my private practice for youth and adults. I use Nancy’s plethora of treatment strategies daily. Nancy gets it when it comes to understanding the symptoms, causes, and treatment of codependency. With the specific and easy-to-apply strategies, clients experience freedom from suffering and the ability to live a life with joy. Thank you for fostering the gift of your work, Nancy, for me and those I serve.”

“Having worked many years in student affairs, I experienced firsthand how codependent behaviors are becoming more common in the workplace. Smart phone technology has blurred, if not erased, the lines between work life and personal life, and individuals are challenged to create and maintain healthy boundaries. We can literally be reached anytime, anywhere (even sitting on the beach) and engage with work! We can be . . . but should we be? Is it the healthiest approach? Those in the process of course correcting to address this modern-day problem can benefit from this thorough and insightful workbook.”

—Marsha Mays-Bernard, MS, retired associate vice president for student affairs, James Madison University

“Finding balance in one’s life is liberating, empowering, and quite frankly essential for a solid sense of self and healthy, stable relationships. Nancy has compiled her extensive knowledge and wisdom in the area of codependency treatment into an easy-to-use, organized, and intuitive self-recovery workbook. Having regularly and successfully used Nancy’s codependency treatment techniques in my own practice over the past 10 years, I can unequivocally and enthusiastically recommend this workbook as a must-have for any therapist or individual involved in the necessary work of fostering self-empowerment, reclaiming autonomy, and realizing healthy functioning.”

—Howard Shumate, LPC, CSAC, MAC, community mental health therapist and manager specializing in complex trauma, addiction, attachment, anxiety, and mood disorders; facilitator of full-model DBT group

“This book offers the clinician an extremely helpful companion for assessing people who present with symptoms of codependency. As the title suggests, it is packed with helpful strategies to facilitate therapeutic growth with clients. Nancy writes in a clear and coherent style that offers the reader easy-to-understand concepts and useful tools. The book is a comprehensive guide for understanding codependency, so anyone not familiar with this material will be brought up to speed in a concise and informative way. And for those who are already well-versed in treating codependency, there are many useful suggestions to help sustain self-recovery and improve well-being.”

—Noel Bell, UKCP-accredited psychotherapist

“Nancy Johnston’s newest book, The Clinician’s Codependency Treatment Workbook, is a gold mine for clinicians and non-professionals alike in its hands-on approach to understanding and working with the complexities of ‘other-centeredness.’ Johnston’s approach is built on a wealth of solid research and is grounded in her many years as a clinician. She communicates in such a way that the complexities of problems can be broken down and addressed in workable ‘chunks,’ and visible progress is almost inevitable. What makes this book particularly useful and accessible is the clear and useable handouts that foster self-evaluation and very practical avenues for success.”

—Phyllis Parker, MPA, author, lecturer, retired high school teacher, parent, grandparent, and person in self-recovery

“I highly recommend The Clinician's Codependency Treatment Workbook to anyone working with clients with codependency. This workbook has an easy-to-follow framework for building skills that lead to a solid relationship with self and that are particularly practical in both my personal as well as my professional life. The material in this workbook has helped me become aware of behaviors learned from a variety of influences that can limit my relationships, and it offers clear ways to address them.”

—JB, PT, physical therapist, partner, parent, and person in self-recovery

“Great book! The material in this workbook has facilitated my ability to have a meaningful relationship with myself as I continue my journey towards understanding codependency more fully and honestly. It has also been especially helpful in my relationships with my adult children—learning what is mine and what is not.”

—Joelyn, BA, MEd, retired elementary school teacher, partner, parent, grandparent, and individual in self-recovery
