An epidemiological study, based on transactional analysis theory, was conducted in Mexico City with a sample of 830 women. Codependence is presented in this study as a disorder in the area of interpersonal relationships, and specifically, in the well-documented family situation in which one or more members are addicted to alcohol and/or other drugs. In this research, the codependence script is presented as an example of a script (individual, familial, gender, and cultural) that can be transmitted from one generation to the next (Noriega, 2002).
