One I can think of off the top of my head is _Stage_II_Relationships_ by Earnie Larsen. It is geared towards recovering people who want to have healthy, fulfilling intimate relationships. I got a lot of practical help from it. He doesn't necessarily compare dysfunctional and healthy or functional relationships. but I found that, in reading about his ideas of healthy relationships, I could see I hadn't had any that looked like what he was describing. So, I could see ways to change my behavior and thinking that would help me. > >Fred Kline sun!wrs!fred or fred@wrs.com Anne anne@fate.eng.buffalo.edu

Struggle for Intimacy, by Janet Wolitz(?). My sister sent me this book several years ago--it was what helped me understand why I was having the problems I have. It discusses the problems ACOA's often encounter in their relationships. Don't know if this is what you have in mind, but you may want to check it out anyway.
