This excellent book clearly details the symptoms, manifestations, and underlying psychology of borderline personality disorder (BPD). It is especially useful for those non-BPD's attempting to deal with BPD's, as it provides helpful techniques, as the subtitle says, for reclaiming your life when someone you care about has this disorder. It is unlikely that this book will be a cure-all, but it will certain help non-BPD's cope with the situation and its fallout.
Rating: 4Great book! It basically told my life as a non BP with my BP wife. I found the information very helpful.
Rating: 5This book is dangerous. It literally tells you to take ownership for part of everything the person with BPD says so they feel validated. It tells you over and over to put up with abuse and tell the person with BPD you hear their feelings underneath. No. If you’re being abused I don’t care what disorder the person has, leave.
Rating: 1I really appreciated that this said again and again what a lot of other materials I've looked at haven't: borderline personality disorder can be managed and to some degree overcome. That's a rather critical point for people involved with borderlines trying to decide what to do and if they can do any good. Beyond that, it's pretty focused on strategies and ways of controlling interactions so as not to cause harm--very useful, I'd expect, although a lot of people struggling and confused in this situation and feeling like a truck hit them might really need to start by dealing with their own hurts and being heard and understanding on a more intuitive-emotional level what's happened to their life, and in that sense this should maybe be the second book on BPD you read and where's the list of recommended films and novels? but those are small criticisms.
Rating: 4
This book is well written and free of judgment for those who have the disorder.
Rating: 5Read this book years and years ago but it had a huge impact on me. highly highly recommended.
Rating: 5I can't believe how much this book made sense. It enlightened me after years of frustration. I only wish I would have read it years ago.
Rating: 4I can neither confirm nor deny that I read this book.
