The dependent behaviour is the leading problem in Russian healthcare, but the large part of the population, formally healthy, is in the state of co-dependency, desire to “save” a sick relative. H e comparison of co-dependant and healthy people samples showed that the diI erences lie in the J eld of manipulation, whereas in other indicators (empathy, love relationship, etc.) there are no distinctions.

Key words: co-dependency, manipulation of others, structure of interpersonal relations.
