Borderline Personality Disorder: A Guide to Understanding and Living with BPD Paperback – 20 Jan. 2015

I personally had no knowledge about Borderline Personaility Disorder whatsoever till I read this book. This book teaches you about Borderline Personality Disorder and explains about all the different types of therapies that are out there to help you; there are talking, drug and psychological therapies and others too. This book also teaches you how to cop with BPD and take care of yourself. Very informative book and a good guide!

The book is almost too basic that is comes across as condescending, very state the obvious kind of stuff. Barely any helpful advice or insight to BPD and I’m someone who has it. The only decent part to the book is about the therapies that can be used and is the only part that really had any depth to it.

Good insight and understanding to the illness . Not sure what else to say other than I have a better understanding now of the illness. As when I got diagnosed they just told me to download /get a book to tell me more about it.

I wasnt 100% satisfied with this book. Found the information short and not very informative. For someone new to the condition, I found web searching much better.

The book is mainly focussed on the therapies that can help with BPD, it has no real insight into living with BPD (only covers pages 3-12!), if you've got it and you want to see what help is there ok but, if you are trying to understand it this is NOT the book for you.

This book is small and has some information people who are looking more in to BPD.

Great little book for understanding the basis of this disorder.

Highly recommended for anyone suffering with this condition or those who would like to help or understand the debilitating illness.

If you are wondering if you developed BPD this book is not going to give you any relevant or accurate information about the condition,

As a Psych major in college, I wanted to refresh my mind about Borderline Personal Disorder and Linda Siegmund was able to overdeliver with knowledge that I completely failed to recall. That is the beauty of books and sometimes the price can be deceiving. You are definitely getting a bargain here and it will help you to understand the diagnosis and treatments in a concise, well-written, and compelling fashion. I highly recommend this book to those who express interest in the mind and psychological realm, such as myself.

This book does an excellent job of defining the symptoms and causes of BPD, but it goes beyond that. Learning how to deal with the ups and downs that go along with this condition is something that takes some planning, focus and understanding. There is no point in continuing to suffer through BPD when there is so much hope. Having suffered from this condition on multiple occasions myself, I found it very helpful in helping me to organize myself better for handling the storms as they come rather than allowing them to get a grip and paralyze me.

For anyone who knows someone with BPD, this book is a must-have. It is thorough and concise about the aspects of the illness, and tells you exactly how to deal with it.

It was just okay. Very short, and nothing that I haven't read before.

I found this book too simle to be very helpful. It might be helpful to a very first reader.
