- Title
Co-dependency and myth.
- Authors
Mayr, Suzanne M.; Price, Joseph L.
- Abstract
Timmen Cernak's use of Ovid's mythological account of Narcissus and Echo as a classic case of co-dependence is critically analyzed against other interpretations. Simultaneous consideration is given to whether and to what extent the clinical concept of co-dependency has been confounded with the psychology of women in a male-oriented society. The complex and ambiguous symbolism of myth demands separation of myth from reality in describing the symptoms, etiology, and treatment of clinical co-dependence.
