In their article ‘‘Applying the codependency concept to significant others of problem
gamblers: Words of caution’’, Calderwood and Rajesparam critique the codependency
concept and highlight its problems when applied to problem gambling
treatment. In this commentary I will show how codependency falls short of true
family systems thinking and raise some questions concerning clinical work that
includes concerned significant others (CSOs).
