About the Book: Borderline Personality Disorder is one of the most common ones. To get diagnosed with it you need to fit five out of several criteria, meaning there’s a fair amount of mix-and-match differences between the types. This book goes through the symptoms, provides example on different combinations of criteria, alongside how they interact with other personality disorders, and ways to differentiate one from another. Followed by resources, information what to do if you have it, and what can be done in specific situations or general ones, or what can be done if you have someone close to you with it – what can you do to help, and how you too need to draw limits, lines in certain scenarios.
My Opinion: With ADHD I have troubles accepting behavioral instructions, and that might make me discard entirety of it due to seemingly trivial things, such as lack of coverage on the issue from the other end of it, not all corners being covered, not all strings tied. This here book is absolutely perfect when it comes to this, structure is just right, everything’s provided step by step. In addition, it’s gentle to both parties, those in relation to people with BPD, and people with BPD, while remaining realistic that some cases might get extreme for either one, or both parties involved. It’s worth reading even if you don’t think you have anyone with BPD around you, as it covered a few other personality disorders as comparison, and so it might help you recognize someone maliciously using you, with resources on what to do if that’s indeed the case.
