Dysinhibition Syndrome:  How to Handle Anger and Rage in Your Child or Spouse by Rose Wood

 
(I strongly recommend this book for any family member who is suffering from anger and rage from their loved one. It discusses in great detail how to manage this behavior in yourself and in treatment for the other person. There are not many books written for people that suffer this kind of "intermittent explosive disorder" and this book will help guide you). "Many people have problems with rage and anger control. These are usually blamed on purely psychological causes. This book shows that these problems are mostly biological and common to many disorders. Wood presents many techniques for controlling and living with them."

For Mothers of Difficult Daughters; How to Enrich and Repair the Relationship in Adulthood by Charney Herst
 

(I recommend this book to any mother who is having trouble with her relationship wither her adult daughter. Though this book is not written specifically for daughters who have the BPD, I highly recommend this book if you have a daughter with the BPD. The author helps you to understand your relationship with your grown daughter "untangling the complex web of personal history and intense emotions inherent in any mother daughter relationship." She then goes on to tell you ideas on how to heal your relationship).

Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward
 

(This book is excellent. If your parent has the BPD or any other mental health disorder, I strongly encourage you to get this book. This is a self help book that will help to free you).

"When you were a child...

Did your parents tell you were bad or worthless?

Did your parents use physical pain to discipline you?

Did you have to take care of your parents because of their problems?

Were you frightened of your parents?

Did your parents do anything to you that had to be kept secret?

Now that you are an adult...

Do your parents still treat you as if you were a child?

Do you have intense emotional or physical reactions after spending time with your parents?

Do your parents control you with threats or guilt?

Do they manipulate you with money?

Do you feel that no matter what you do, it's never good enough for your parents?

In this remarkable self-help guide, Dr. Susan Forward drawn on case histories and the real-life voices of adult children of toxic parents to help you free yourself from the frustrating patterns of your relationship with your parents -- and discover an exciting new world of self-confidence, inner strength, and emotional independence."

The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to recognize it and how to respond by Patricia Evans
 
(Excellent book. Includes an evaluation to determine if you are in an abusive relationship, a look at the abuser,  shows different kinds of emotional abuse and teaches you how to respond with impact)."Are you now, or have you ever been, in relationships with family, friends, or mates who have been verbally abusive? Is your happiness with someone you love continually threatened by interactions that continually undermine your self-esteem? Do you feel trapped in a relationship that keeps decaying in a downward spiral of overt or passive-aggressive abuse?
If so, this book could be your life raft, either carrying you toward repair of the existing relationship or the effects of past relationships or offering liberation from your current confusion. Its practical approach can help clear your head and possibly change your life. The only criticism that I and other readers have is that the author assumes verbal abuse is almost always directed by males toward females, which, in my experience and that of others I know, is not necessarily the case. Highly Recommended."
