CSUSB psychology professor Kelly Campbell interviewed about codependent relationshipsMyDomaine.comOct. 13, 2017
In an article about codependent relationships, the online magazine “asked Kelly Campbell, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology and human development at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB), all our burning questions, starting with the most basic: What is a codependent relationship? According to Campbell, you know a relationship is a codependent one when ‘a person forgoes their own needs in order to please or gain acceptance from the other person.’
“To get a better sense of codependence, we asked Campbell to explain the dynamics of the relationship. ‘One person is reliant on the assistance of the other (the codependent) in order to get their needs met,’ she says. ‘They often cannot function on their own (e.g., they are ill or have an addiction)—but yet may have psychological power over the codependent and manipulate them to get their needs met.’”
