Great starter book, read it in a few hours
This book was AMAZING. I had already learned some things about BPD online but this book is easy to read. It really delves into what it is, how its treated and explains coping mechanisms. I just started therapy a month ago and wanted to learn more about BPD. Would highly recommend this book. CW: self harmThere is a whole section about self harm. I myself don't have ideations of self harming however it was interesting to read through this section. Very informative.10/10 will read again.

Adequate. Judy Dyer summarized the aspects of a BPD quite well. I realized I did not meet the 5 requirements she listed to be ex as having BPD, thankfully. However, I also learned a few things I didn't know about this disorder and how the persons who suffer from it need our under and compassion rather than judgement & ridicule. It may not be easy living with a person who has PBD. I know. I spent 10 years trying to understand a husband who confounded ms
from the first day of our marriage. I realized it wasn't my fault that I was unable to communicate with him. He just could not communicate his feelings with me for so long. When I felt emotionally drained, I started doing things that made me feel good about myself. HE CALLED IT, "REBELLION". But I realized at some point that I was never going to do enough to " please" him. So, I started pleasing myself.. regaining some of my self back that had been lost over the years. I wasn't trying to "rebell". I just got tired of the illusion of love, and concentrated on taking care of my twin daughters and myself. Oh, I still cooked his meals, cleaned his house, shopped for the groceries; ect. I just distanced myself from him emotionally to protect myself from more psychological & emotional abuse. He had to know where I was going at all times & with whom. He was so paranoid about me having an affair that he sent his best friend into our apt. to ask me if I was sleeping with so&so. I knew my husband had sent him, so I said, " Yes ". Then I get the shock of a lifetime! His best friend asked me to go to bed with him! I just backed away & Yelled, " YOU'RE @#$%&'s BEST FRIEND!!!!!" and I told him to go back to my husband. Did my husband have BPD? I don't know? Was he a Narcissist? Possibly? When he wanted to separate; after taking all but $40.00 out of my account to buy "us" a car, he said that we ( the twins - age 2&1/2,& I ) were holding him back. From what? His career, of course. Of course, I wasn't aware of anything when I was 27 years old. I just had a gut feeling that I WAS GETTING OUT OF A VERY BAD SITUATION. I WORRIED FOR THE TWINS, WHO WERE TOO YOUNG to understand why daddy was gone. Did Judy's book help me? Not really. It helped me realize how fortunate I am to have gotten away from a other relationship later in life involving a girlfriend. It taught me what to look out for. But I can' t say I learned how to deal with people who have BPD VERY WELL. IT WAS KIND OF superficial in that respect. I can appreciate her attempt to educate us and the empathy she has for people. God bless her for that. It is a rare and beautiful gift. March on Judy! We're all works in progress. No matter what we do. Your book was easy to read & understand. I just felt it was somehow superficial in communicating how to deal with people with BPD. So I gave it 3 stars.

Very informative
I have suffered from BPD all my life without realising it and reading this book almost moved me to tears because now I know that I don't just have depression or a short temper or anxiety or jealousy. What I have has a name and it's BPD, and now I know what it is and why I have it I can work on it so thank you so much for this great book.
