You heard it here first folks -- women not be making sandwiches anymore, which causes the BORDERLINES. Also, gay and trans people make borderlines for some reason. Because of course we have sneak homophobia and transphobia in here.

read this because a close friend of mine has this disorder. really pained me to read and understand that this is what goes on in their minds on almost a daily basis, but i also learned a few ways on how to better communicate with her, such as the SET-UP technique. however, i think the book would be better if it had given more examples or what to do in a more diverse situations (and not just in romantic relationships, but in friendships too)

A very enlightening look at borderline personality disorder- I discovered a lot of new information and facts. I think this book is popular within BPD circles and I can see why.
As somebody who struggles with BPD I found a lot of parts of this book very informative and other parts polarizing and uncomfortable. Many of the case studies were done on what I would consider the “worst case scenario” that perpetuates biases against people with BPD. But every one of these ends with a resounding message of hope. With treatment, with work, it can and will get better.
