Codependency is a common and treatable family-system illness that develops in reaction to the stress of addiction or another "shameful secret" in a family member. This stressful environment induces emotional changes in each family member and creates a variety of pathologic family roles. For the family physician, brief therapy for the codependent family can be visibly effective when combined with follow-up and referral to resources such as Al-Anon family groups.
相互依赖是一种常见且可治疗的家庭系统疾病，它是在家庭成员成瘾或其他“羞耻秘密”所带来的压力下产生的。这种压力环境会引发每个家庭成员的情绪变化，并产生各种病态的家庭角色。对于家庭医生来说，对相互依赖的家庭进行简短治疗，并结合随访以及转介至诸如嗜酒者互诫协会家庭小组等资源时，可能会有显著效果。
