Description
Borderline Personality Disorder is a commonly misunderstood phenomenon that many people battle with on a daily basis. The condition itself is now classified as one in which patients have a range of different levels of mental illness .They are not schizophrenic or delusion but generally have less emotional control than those who are considered mentally and emotionally healthy. Borderline, in this sense, means on a strange (often uncomfortable) border between mental and emotional stability and more serious mental illness. Misconceptions include the belief that BPD equals dangerous physical violence (the "Bunny Boiler" misconception).
Reality is any danger is usually to the self, rather than others. BPD sufferers experience emotions far more intensely than the rest of the population. In many senses, this is no bad thing but the lack of control of these emotions is where BPD patients risk self-harm, destructive behaviors and problematic relationship issues with others.
This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to live with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Starting with an overview of the condition and its history the book takes a practical approach to BPD and how to manage the condition on a daily basis. In two parts, the book examines how to develop skills to manage BPD and then examines exercises and tools for doing so. Practical, common-sense and simple to understand, this book offers an easy to follow approach for those with BPD and their friends and families.
