She first became interested in writing about the connection between culture and codependency after keeping a personal journal in the early years of her recovery from codependency. After examining her own background she became intrigued by the notion that codependency could be created, in large part, by our culture’s expectations. An academic background in psychology and sociology enabled her to pursue research on this topic. After years of study she wrote The Mother And The Manager to explore how our traditional gender roles contribute to codependent behaviors in men and women. Elizabeth is married and lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.lihat lebih sedikit
