More About This Book

Overview

For family members of people with borderline personality disorder (BPD), home life is routinely unpredictable and frequently unbearable. Extreme mood swings, impulsive behaviors, and suicidal tendencies—common conduct among those who suffer from the disorder—leave family members feeling confused, hurt, and helpless.

In her pioneering first book Stop Walking on Eggshells, co-authored with Paul T. Mason, Randi Kreger outlined the fundamental differences in the way that people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) relate to the world. Now, with The Essential Family Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder, she takes readers to the next level, giving them straightforward tools to get off the emotional roller coaster and repair relationships with loved ones with BPD. Kreger answers the questions family members most want to ask about: the symptoms and treatment of BPD, including why BPD is so misdiagnosed; how symptoms can differ by age and gender; and how addiction and other disorders complicate BPD. She then outlines how families can set boundaries and communicate differently in order to help themselves and their loved ones cope with this bewildering form of mental illness.

    Best Family-Help Book on Borderline Personality Disorder

    This is the second book I have read on the subject that combines research with the realities of the disorder. The first book was Randi Kreger's "Stop Walking on Eggshells." I found it very easy to identify BP behavior as a result of reading this book, The "professional lingo" was elucidated by concrete examples. Suggestions for the non- BP were concrete. I would have like to have read more specific practice exercises. More suggestions for those closely related non-BP's who do not live in the same household with the BP would have been helpful. The suggestions at the end of the book were very poignant. But how do you stop your heart from from feeling the pain?

    USELESS SAMPLE

    This 41-page sample is USELESS as a guide for determining whether one might want to purchase this book. The sample is 41 pages of references to other authors, this authors repetitious thanking his family, friends and other mental health colleagues for their individual and collective support while this book was written. There was no example from the books content to offer some insight as to the authors' style and focus regarding any issues confronting people wanting guidance related to coping with BPD. You'll do just as well by flipping a coin and calling 'heads-yes or tails-no' as you would by reading this sample when it comes to deciding whether - or not - that you'll buy this book.
