N2  - This study examined several potential psychological correlates of codependency to determine the parameters and feasibility of the codependency construct. Subjects were 171 adult female volunteers from a university. Results indicated significant relationships between codependency and: object relations and reality testing (p = .01), intensity of depression (p < .01), introjective depression (p < .001), and history of abuse (p < .001). The results are supportive of codependency as a useful construct which involves a cluster of difficulties in interpersonal relationships, reality testing, and introjective depression. An association was demonstrated between codependency and parental alcoholism, or history of childhood abuse, or both.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
