Codependency is a term used to describe personality characteristics of people involved in unhealthy relationships. The authors purport that characteristics of codependency can be organized and interpreted using concepts from Bowen's family systems theory. Having such a framework addresses the criticisms that the concept of codependency lacks a solid theoretical foundation. In addition, nurses need to understand the concept if they are to evaluate their own actions regarding codependent behaviors.
相互依赖是一个用于描述卷入不健康关系中的人的性格特征的术语。作者声称，相互依赖的特征可以用鲍文家庭系统理论中的概念来组织和解释。有这样一个框架可以回应关于相互依赖概念缺乏坚实理论基础的批评。此外，如果护士要评估自己在相互依赖行为方面的行动，就需要理解这个概念。
