Breaking the addiction to please goodbye guilt
Many people are responsible for taking care of an aging parent, an ailing spouse, or a handicapped child and do so out of love, devotion, or obligation, and many others have caretaking occupations in the areas of nursing, social work, counseling, and so on. But there are other less benign caretakers in our midst. These people have an excessive need to be needed, and they assume the caretaking role not out of love, obligation, or choice of profession but due to unconscious motivations over which they havelittle control. This addiction to pleasing others can be as debilitating as substance addic.

- "Psychotherapist Barbanell (supervisor, New Jersey Inst. for Training; Removing the Mask of Kindness) presents an important analysis of the less-known "caretaker personality disorder," characterized as an addiction to helping others. These unusual caregivers have a craving to please and an uncontrollable desire to give without receiving. While the initial positive response from the receivers is the "high" for the helping caregiver, many receivers soon begin to feel intruded upon and controlled by the obsessive caregiver. Here, he offers insights gleaned from his unique practice; explains the basic traits of the addiction, the role of the unconsciousness in the etiology of the disorder, and typical masks that hide underlying emotional turmoil; and presents practical suggestions for long-term recovery and stability."
