"This is a good overview of Borderline Personality Disorder as a whole, from criteria for diagnosis to support for friends and family. I'd certainly reccommend it to anyone trying to understand the disorder. At the same time, it's written specifically to the Borderline patient and, while it doesn't exclude others from reading it, I think it reads better with a little first hand experience. Also, one unfortunate aspect of Narcissistic disorders is that the subject is the least likely to recognize that anything is wrong (much less read a book about it), but I wouldn't really fault the book for noble intentions.
As the offspring of an NPD/BPD, I found the first several chapters (Diagnosis criteria, case studies, etc.) to be a little difficult to get through, but difficult in that it hit the nail on the head, so to speak. It's written in pretty accessible language, and I found much of the advice on healing and treatments could be employed by family and friends (though there is a chapter devoted to friends and family as well)."
"i was intrested in this disorder after watching girl interupted. she didn't seem to have big issues to me. i couldn't figure out why she was there so long. I was pretty young when i watched that movie. anyways this book gave me all the info I needed. i can truley see how life could be difficult living with boderline personality disorder."
"If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder you may find this useful. I should note that I am highly skeptical of a diagnosis of BPD who is not at least in their mid to late 20's"
