One of the more serious and hard-to-treat mental problems,
borderline personality disorder (BPD) is also one of the most
dangerous. Seventy-five percent of people with BPD will attempt
suicide at some point, and ten percent ultimately take their own
lives. Living with the symptoms of BPD is obviously a terrible
burden for anyone, but receiving a BPD diagnosis and negotiating
the necessary treatment can itself be a bewildering and painful
process.This compassionate book offers people with BPD a detailed
guide to the disorder and a point-by-point plan to the treatment
and condition-management process. The book is organized as a series
of answers to questions common to BPD sufferers: What is BPD? How
long does it last? What other problems co-occur with BPD? Overviews
of what we currently know about BPD make up the first section of
the book. Later chapters cover several common treatment approaches
to BPD: dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mentalization-based
therapy (MBT), and medical treatment using psychoactive drugs. In
the last sections of the book, readers learn a range of day-to-day
coping skills that can help moderate the symptoms of BPD.
