Awakening Hope. A Developmental, Behavioral, and Biological Approach to Codependency Treatment by Mary Crocker Cook, D.Min, LMFT, CADCII, IADCII is due for release by Robertson Publishers on July 1, 2011. ISBN 978-1-61170-031-2-51895

Awakening Hope is the outcome of over 20 years of experience as a licensed therapist and college instructor combined with a devastating personal loss. Extensive knowledge and training in relationships didn’t protect Mary from her own relationship mistake, and she was catapulted by pain into the research and development of a program to heal long-standing unhealthy relationship patterns in her life, and the lives of those she treats and teaches.

Awakening Hope explores the developmental attachment issues that lay the foundation for codependency; the anxious and avoidant behavioral patterns we develop in response; and the adrenal system damage accrued through years of hyper-arousal of a fight, flight, or flee response to anticipated broken attachments. Mary incorporates research, personal observation, case vignettes, and ultimately offers a plan for healing and relapse prevention.

Mary Crocker Cook, D.Min, LMFT, CADCII, IADCII has been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Jose, California for over 20 years, developed and currently coordinates the San Jose City College Alcohol and Drug Studies Program, is an adjunct instructor with the John F. Kennedy Graduate School of Clinical Psychology, and is the Founding Director of The IC&RC International Alcohol and Drug Counselor Certification Trust for India. (iadcc.in)
