I really appreciate the article as it reflects my work with with my clients in addiction group therapy but I will say this. Overinvolvement is partly the systems reaction to circumstances but it is also very much a question of personality. People that are codependent with a strong tendency to caretake and rescue others, who are over involved with others as a way of avoiding dealing with their own issues – that is definitely a personality porous boundary issue which needs to be acknowledged and addressed.
