Thorough, accessible, excellent!5
If you have bpd, you must buy this book. Written by someone who really has been there and seen it all, this is a wonderful, compassionate and extremely thorough account of all aspects of the disorder. As someone with severe bpd, I have laughed and cried my way through these pages ;). It takes you through diagnosis, causes, historical thinking, case studies, scientific background, treatments and offers great advice for individuals and their families. I cannot recommend this book enough, almost certainly all you will need to understand bpd and realise you can live with it successfully!

Excellent - Best book I have read on this disorder by far!5
I thought this book was excellent and far exceeded my expectations!! I would recommend this as the only book you would need to read. It is very informative and I found it extremely easy to understand. It even explains whats happening in the brain (although a tad complicated - still worth reading) and stresses this disorder is as real as diabetes etc.
Excellent informative book!!!

Anyone who suffers from BPD or relatives/friends who care should definitely read this. Is simplifies BPD and makes it so much more understandable.
