She works with individual adults and couples. Her training and expertise in these areas prompted her to write this book based on the same patterns she sees daily in her private practice. Her practice consists mainly of women complaining that their boyfriend/husband is not dependable, is irresponsible and immature. They feel betrayed that they have to "carry" the relationship and that they feel resentful. Hearing so many of the very same issues presented daily by her patients, Patricia decided to write an accumulation of the "Wendy's", their patterns (past and present) and positive ways to break these "addictions" and move toward a healthy self and healthy relationships.
