Summary

If you or someone you love is struggling with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you need up-to-date, accurate, and accessible information on the problems you're facing and where you can turn for help. But where do you look? Much of the professional literature on BPD is too technical and confusing to be of much help. And searching the internet for accurate information can be treacherous, with some sites providing useful information and others giving dangerous advice and misinformation. If you're living with BPD, this compassionate book offers what you really need: an easy-to-follow road map to guide you through this disorder and its treatment.

This book provides answers to many of the questions you might have about BPD: What is BPD? How long does it last? What other problems co-occur with BPD? Overviews of what we currently know about BPD make up the first section of the book. Later chapters cover several common treatment approaches to BPD: DBT, mentalization-based treatment (MBT), and medication treatments. In the last sections of the book, you'll learn a range of useful coping skills that can help you manage your emotions, deal with suicidal thoughts, and cope with some of the most distressing symptoms of BPD.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very compassionate Author.

As a sufferer of BPD and Complex PTS, I found this book helped a great deal for my partner to understand me. It also gave us hope for a better future as we manage this together. The author is very compassionate and addresses the main stigmas attached to the condition which I appreciated. I've found other books on this subject sometimes leave a very negative imprint on the mind and its hard to try and educate people who do not have the condition on it without them stigmatising you also. This book has the right approach to such a misunderstood diagnosis and has left a very positive imprint on me.

Beginner level information

This book could be very helpful for someone who just got a diagnosis. It doesn't have a lot of indept information. More of a broad knowledge and the last chapter focuses on coping skills you can implement in your daily life.
