Rosenberg's latest version (2018) of his Human Magnet Syndrome books has rewritten what we know and understand about codependency, narcissism, narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, and attachment trauma. The 2013 and 2018 versions have collectively sold over 150,000 copies and are published in 10 languages. As a result, it has become a codependency and narcissistic abuse staple for both mental health professionals and the clients they help.
These books address the invisible force that magnetically and irresistibly draws people together, not by what they see, feel, and think, but more by an invisible, unconscious relationship force. It re-conceptualizes romantic "chemistry" as an invisible alluring, seductive "love force" that is impossible to avoid. Codependents and pathological narcissists cannot avoid The Human Magnet Syndrome's inevitable dysfunctional opposite match-up. What starts as the codependent's dream "soul mate" almost always transforms into their nightmare "cellmate."
The Human Magnet Syndrome provides a life-changing and brilliant explanation for why patient and sacrificing codependents fall head over heels in love with beautiful and exquisitely interesting selfish and self-centered narcissists.
