If you have a person with BPD in life this book is a must have. If you have BPD it will help you understand that some of your behaviors that seem unusual to other are understandable and can be explained and treated. This book explains the difference between this BPD and other mental illnesses. Many BPD's have other concurrent mental problems and treating a personality disorder is very different than say treating bipolar disorder.

I saw a lot of myself in these pages. For years I've been diagnosed with several different depressive type disorders and never once has any doctor or therapist brought up BPD. I feel a bit more empowered when discussing my care with my doctors. I hope this book can bring comfort to someone else as well.

As someone living with BPD I found this book to be very helpful. It explained a lot of different options to me. It also has great information to share with friends, family, or co-workers to help explain some of your actions. Great start to recovery!
