"Amazing! Rather than focusing on the problems with living with BPD like I Hate You-Don't Leave Me, it shows you how to live with BPD and centers around the solutions."
"I don't think the authors had any plan of who this book was written for: borderlines? families/spouses? psychiatrists? The whole book just kind of jumps perspective. Also, the example stories are pretty chintsy at times."
"I chose "read" only because "kind of skimmed through" was not an option. My review is lengthy, but if you read it, you can save your time and skip the book, because it is full similar (but in my opinion less realistic) case studies, and there is a lot of uncertainty in causes of borderline and prognosis of individuals. This book by the same authors of I Hate You Don't Leave Me gives updates on the causes of borderline and the prognosis for a borderline patient. There are a couple significant frustrations. For the diagnostician, therapist, and client, it is nearly pointless to pinpoint an exact cause. Some research shows it is nurture (biological), others nature (environmental), but most say it is some combination of the two. There are specific brain patterns, etc., shown in borderline patients, but these show up in some people without borderline...all confusing. The frustration for both therapist and client is that a symptom is for the client to abandon treatment when things get intense, which of course halts the progress that is being made in therapy, so the prognosis is poor on average but good for those who stay in therapy. The problem with all this is that pretty much every detail of life is intense for a borderline patient. Most people experience intense moments from time to time, maybe weekly or daily, but for a person with borderline, every thought, movement, and especially relationship is outrageously intense. The natural reaction is to seek less intense experiences, so sticking with therapy can be excruciating. Before this occurs, the therapist and client ideally come to an understanding of the importance of therapy and how it eventually helps ease the intensity of life experiences. This updated book does discuss some medications that are somewhat successful and can be used short- or long-term, depending on the patient. Average length of psychotherapy is 5-10 years. (Some of this stuff I may have gleaned from other books or personal experience, but that's the run-down.)"
