 Hello! April 28, 2008
Introduced me to a mental problem that I had observd but didn't know was considered by the psychology world. Ideas for coping were much appreciated.
 A must read for all nonbps April 24, 2008
This is a very well written, easy to read book. For myself, I think the comments from BPs really helped me to distance myselfs from my wife's verbal attacks. It really helps to remember that BPs are reacting out of panic, or raging at something within themselves, and those around them are, in a sense, caught in the crossfire.
 Curdled knowledge, way past it's expiration date. March 14, 2008
There is a diverse variety of BPD types and even more combinations of subtypes or coexisting disorders that can make up the BPD spectrum. It is way too easy to generalize and only view this disorder in an extreme spectrum....and in the process, view it very wrong. This book comes out of the starting gate generalizing the BP way too much in a "worst case" scenario.
I understand this books mission, and it was a noble undertaking. But I think it can do more harm than good. So many good books have come since this books first publishing and many of them dispel what is written in this book because the science, psychology and understanding of BPD is a dynamic and ever evolving one. Psychology is a fast paced field and new information and knowledge is constantly evolving. For this reason alone, you should always focus on more recently published works.
Honestly, if you're having these terrible experiences with your spouse as described herein, you should seriously talk one on one with a qualified psychiatrist and ask how to handle your unique situation.

It took me 53 years to understand that my mother has Borderline Disorder. What a great book for an average person to understand what was really going on. Highly recommended.

I purchased this book in order to help me understand family members, from a counselors recommendation. Initially I wasn't convinced that the descriptions matched and wasn't sure I liked the book. But the author gives great examples and testimony,additional resources, and recommendations for how to address various behaviors, which I found very helpful.
