The White Knight Syndrome: Rescuing Yourself from Your Need to Rescue Others, Lamia Mary C., Krieger Marilyn J.

Are you a white knight? Are you attracted to needy, damaged, or helpless people? Do you feel like your love can heal your partner? Are you overly involved in your partners problems? Are you hungry for constant reassurance in relationships? Do you make excuses for your partner? Do you try to save people from themselves?

If this dynamic sounds familiar to you, you may be a white knight; hoping to receive admiration, validation, or love from your partners, but managing only to cheat yourself out of emotionally healthy relationships. Its time to come to your own rescue, and this book can help.

With well-written analysis, engaging insight, and salient case studies, The White Knight Syndrome is a much-needed and well-executed guide to understanding and resolving the white knight syndrome in yourself.
