People with borderline or narcissistic personality disorders have a serious mental illness that primarily affects their intimate, personal, and family relationships. Often they appear to be normally functioning at work and in public interactions, and narcissists may even be highly effective, in the short term, in some work or social situations. However, in intimate relationships, they can be emotional, aggressive, demeaning, illogical, paranoid, accusing, and controlling - in the extreme.

Brilliant book.
This book truly breaks with the stigma of BPD. it shows the people with this disorder in a compassionate caring way and provides people who are close to such a person with understanding and tools to cope and help their loved one. I would really recommend this book to anyone even people who never come across a person with BPD. And this is mainly because this book is very professional and at the same time is about compassion, understanding and helping people with BPD rather then a warning to run away... finally, on top of brilliant content the narration is very, very good too!

First class life saver
If your loved one had bpd or eupd or even an eating disorder you probably feel pretty helpless, even desperate.
This book helped me hugely. I recommend reading it.
Having it on audible is double the value of the paper copy because you can hear the tone of voice required, not just the words.
This will help you save your loved ones life. Literally.

This book changed my life in ways I didn't expect
I started listening to this book for one purpose. I purchased this book for my boyfriend when he found out he had Borderline. I found out I had Borderline as well while listening to this book. Now with the information that I learned, my emotional intelligence grew tremendously. I haven't yelled at my kids since I've read this book. I haven't invalidated anyone like I used to. I do not judge anyone, and I changed my way of reacting. I highly recommend this book to anyone, not just people associated with BPD.

Helpful information, presentation is stilted
This book contained a lot of good information and I'll probably end up buying the Kindle version so that I can refer back to it frequently. The style of the narrator was irritating to me. She seemed almost robotic at times. I think it was because there was so much clinical information. She was easier to listen to during the case study portions because she seemed more animated. I think this was appropriate, it's just not the most enjoyable listening. In any case, I feel like my retention of lists of helpful strategies, lists of the criteria for diagnosing this condition and so on will be greater if I have a chance to look at the lists. Listening to this book gave me a great overview. I might have had a hard time getting through the whole thing reading it myself. Now I'll want to go back and read certain portions in order to help them stick.

Suffering with borderline personality disorder
I do suffer from this disorder. I have done so many horrible things after drinking too much and calling or texting people. I have said disgusting things I have felt regretful and shameful almost daily. I still hate myself. I have alienated myself. I never had a good support system. Listening has clarified so much and given me a view of what everyone around me has had to deal with. I wish I could apologize to everyone I have hurt but unfortunately most have died due to cancer and natural causes. I’m self sabotaging and hurt everyone around me. I do not post this for sympathy I deserve everything that has come by way. But I love that the author shows compassion for the person with bpd.

Through the course of our relationship I have also found myself to have some of the same sufferings.
