This is not a scientific reference, it's a self-help book, and I usually look skeptically at that whole category. However, anyone who has ever torn his or her hair out while dealing with a borderline will feel a wave of validation and relief when reading this book. No, you are not crazy, and no, you are not alone. Also, and very importantly, the book advocates kindly, empathetic, and compassionate handling of borderlines, and gives many concrete examples of exactly how to do this. I think that this is the best popular work on BPD. It may not save your life, but it might save your sanity.]]>
