      Extremely subjective and full of disdain towards those with BPD. This is a poorly researched book and I do not recommend this book to anyone trying to actually learn about BPD.

      As a person with BPD, trying to understand better, this book is demeaning, it paints a horrible picture of a very real, very difficult thing to live with. If it was possible to give negative stars, I would.

      Was hoping to find some actual information of bpd. Instead found the most stigmatization.

      Abysmal. Reads more like a scorned lover, I was looking for information, and he is good at listing why people with BPD are terrible, but doesn’t go into detail that enables anyone to truly understand why the person is this way. Again I say, abysmal. The only saving grace was the short length.

      I don’t know who makes a book like this.....makes people with BPD seem like horrible people. Disgusted by the way this book is written

      Atrocious. More opinion in this book than there is fact. Sounds like an scorned ex lover blaming the other party rather than an educational or even helpful book. All the author does through the entire book is shame those with BPD. this never should have been published.

      Terrible grammar but even more terrible due to the very harsh words. Like another user said, it reads like a scorned ex lover.

      This book is mostly an opinion piece. Not to mentioned copied and paste of the exact material as his other book "How to spot a histrionic personality", except change the word "Histrionic" to "BPD". Literally, word for word. I agree with some aspect of the book that it's important to recognize people with personality disorders in order to protect yourself, as well as to ensure they get the appropriate help if you care to help them. But all he does is demonizes people with BPD. Any author that copies and paste exact same material from one book to another lose his credibility and make me wonder if he's just writing these books to make money more than to help people to understand personality disorders.

      Well, I actually suffer from the disorder- which is now considered highly treatable. I find most of his claims exaggerated and baseless. Oops, or is that just my pathological need to criticize and disparage anyone who criticizes me?
      No, seriously, he doesn't get it. For example, we don't self-harm primarily for attention, as he claims. We do it because it is the fastest and most reliable way to calm down (people with our "personality disorder" can be highly reactive).
      Skip this one- the author seems to be describing a strange amalgam of narcissism, antisocial personality disorder, and some other things.
      A notable takeaway is the attractive model featured on the cover. Why is this still considered a female disorder? Why, in recent research, were men presenting with borderline personality disorder typically diagnosed with either PTSD or antisocial personality disorder? And what qualifies this guy to present opinions not backed up by any medical credentials? He'll be hunting witches next!

      I have bpd and am a devoted loving mother of 4 children, I found the description of borderline mothers in this book to be a huge sweeping generalisation that not only fails to offer an insight to the authors pitifully narrow mind but also insults all those bpd sufferers out there who are (mostly, certainly in my case) eaten up with guilt and self loathing for having a mental illness that we cannot help. Bpd isn't an excuse to behave in certain ways, but believe me it's hell feeling like this day in day out. all children suffer at the hands of bad parenting somwhere along the lint and I am well aware I'm not perfect, but they are

      It was very informative and accurate, but it did seem to place a negative stigma on bpd.

      Short and sweet (if ever a book on BPD could be called sweet).
    • 5/5
      Nice overview of the symptoms of BPD and examples of what it's like to live with, work work, and or parented by some one with it. Check list was very interesting and if accurate shows why some people are very hard to get along with!
