This is Not the End: Conversations on Borderline Personality Disorder

When I purchased this book, I honestly knew very little about the topic of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) beyond that I have a friend with this diagnosis. The author speaks in this book with a clear and concise voice. I was provided with the information about BPD in a casual tone which helped avoid the "text-booky" tone that many psychological books can take. I found this book to be super informative and emphatic to those with this condition. Too often I feel that emphasis is placed on the disorder and its pathology rather than placing the person first. I found this book placed emphasis on the person; a person who just happens to have a BPD diagnosis.I would recommend this book to anyone who has be diagnosed or has a loved one diagnosed with BPD. I learned a lot about this condition and knowledge is what helps ends Mental Illness stigma.I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

This was a very interesting book and well written a bout a much maligned diagnosis. It is a collection of stories by people who have BPD and are recovering. These stories are each quite unique and really demonstrate how varied the people are who struggle with this condition and more importantly how they are recovering. The editor wrote a compassionate introduction to this inspiring collection of stories. I highly recommend this book for those who are struggling with BPD, their families and friends.

A very helpful book that really explains borderline personality disorder. The chapter called an in-depth look at BPD was what helped me the most. Best of all, the back of the book has a lot of information on resources for BPD. From apps, to blogs, to books, it's quite a list. A very informative read that I highly recommend.

This has very useful information in it, but the essays are by non-professional writers expressing their personal opinions.

Gives a new perspective on people with addictive problems and other behavior problems. I had not read much on personality disorders before, and was skeptical about these diagnoses, but sometimes the behaviors exhibited by people were otherwise unexplainable, or they would not remember what they had done or said. Many people do not respond to typical anti-depressant therapy. Good book to start with.

I found the information in this book laid a solid foundation for understanding this diagnosis , the struggle and hopefully, with application of the suggestions a way to finally understand and communicate with my loved one suffering with this disease.

Very informative about narcissism. It helped me very much dealing with my narcissistic defects

I started reading the book and gave it up. It was just too boring.

helpful for understanding or trying to

good book - recommended read for those who are affected by anyone with a personalitydisorder

While this is not the most up to date bible on BPD, it certainly does provide an interesting and insightful regard by people who live with the challenges of BPD daily. A worthwhile read.

医学的知識は全くなく、personality disorderのボーダーラインとはどういうことかと思って購入した。分かったのはボーダーラインはこの症状の名称の一部で、原因は生まれつきの知覚認識に問題があること、しかしコントロールできないということではないということだった。患者が自分自身の経験を語っているので、入りやすかった。日本ではまだ広く知られていないようであり、身近にこういう人がいるわけではないので、最後までは読んでおらず、もっと重要な情報が含まれているのかもしれない。いずれにしても、「変な人」と反応することが答えではないことがよく分かった。

arrived quickly and is just right
