Borderline
and Beyond: Revised by Laura Paxton |
|
(I
highly recommend this workbook. It is a fantastic resource for everyone
with the.."bpd.." or with borderline traits.
Laura has a tremendous insight into the borderline disorder and
I truly feel her book will not only assist in recovery, but it will
help the reader understand the disorder much better. I recommend
it not only to borderlines, but their families as well. Refers
to the previous edition). "The workbook, 'Borderline and Beyond' that Laura Paxton has written is, by far,
the most exciting and supportive inspiration I have encountered
for treating people diagnosed with "..."
(BPD). As an experienced professional working with this population,
I believe this workbook empowers clients with the insightful, respectful
and positive way it helps them understand and embrace the gifts
and challenges of BPD."

| Eclipses:
Behind the Borderline Personality Disorder
by Melissa Ford Thornton |
| (Author has BPD and describes her
experience at Highland In-patient Hospital where she learns DBT
skills. She shares some of what she has learned and how DBT has
helped her. The only thing I disagreed in the book was her statement
"While disability is a godsend for many former patients who do not
have sufficient financial resources, the public needs to be made
aware that such a resource is an enabler rather than a tag of inability."
I have read that as many as 33 % of BPDs are disabled, not because
they want to be enabled, but because their illness has truly prevented
them from sustaining a job). "Written especially for those
suffering from borderline personality disorder, 'Eclipses'
offers a unique perspective on BPD--from the viewpoint of the patient.
Author Melissa Ford Thornton offers hope and compassion, weaving
her own personal experiences with real-life stories of fellow sufferers
throughout the book. Included are personal experiences with Dialectical
Behavior Therapy, a therapy developed especially for treating borderline
personality disorder. Friends and families of borderline patients
and professionals in psychology and psychiatry can learn a great
deal more about this mental illness by looking at it through the
borderline's eyes." |

Personality Disorder : The Latest Assessment & Treatment Strategies
by Melanie A. Dean Ph.D |
| "This book contains professional treatment
information in a jargon-free, user-friendly format with technical
words defined on the same page they are used. This book is ideal
for clinicians as well as patients and concerned loved ones wanting
to understand the disorder and the best treatment options." "This
condensed review of the diagnosis and treatment of BPD offers an
understanding of what causes someone to lash out in anger and want
to harm or kill themselves. Written in a jargon-free, easy-to-reference
format this guidebook reviews 6 predictors of suicide, common maladaptive
thought patterns and the main goals for psychotherapy treatment.
The biological basis for the disorder is reviewed along with medications
used for treatment." |
