Pros:
|
Somewhat clarifying in description of BPD
|
|
Cons:
|
Limited discussion of BPD and BPD treatment
|
|
Everyone seems to recommend this book to someone looking for more information about BPD, but I think there are better books, including "Sometimes I Act Crazy" by the same author/s, and Understanding the Borderline Mother by Christine Lawson, as well as various websites.I was glad to see that in their 2nd book on BPD, the author/s present a more positive prognosis for those with BPD and acknowledge a broader array of effective treatments.

This was my first book I read about BPD after being diagnosed and acknowledging it. For so many years I refused to believe that I had a personality disorder... but I went ahead and did some research and read this book. I couldn't put it down! I was stunned -- was this book written about me!? I re-read the book multiple times over a long weekend, continually going back and taking notes.
This book opened my eyes. It may not be the "best" BPD book but I am grateful that I had the opportunity to read it. It changed my life...and probably saved my life as well.Great introduction to learning and understanding BPD.
