Leben auf der Grenze.
Zwanzig Menschen mit Borderline-Erfahrung, Betroffene und Angehörige, schreiben über ihr Erleben, über ihre Gefühle, über ihren Umgang mit sich und anderen. Dieses Buch ist eine Chance, denn die Texte schaffen Verständnis zwischen Betroffenen und Angehörigen. Und sie machen Denn sie zeigen, dass Veränderungen möglich sind und dass es gelingen kann, eine neue Haltung sich selbst gegenüber zu gewinnen und liebevoller mit sich, seiner Familie und seinen Freunden umzugehen. Menschen mit einer Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung sind für Außenstehende schwer zu verstehen. Ihr Verhalten wirkt »verrückt«, löst Befremden aus und macht Angehörigen und Freunden Angst. Dagegen hilft nur ein besseres Verständnis. Und das schafft dieses Buch, das erste, in dem Borderliner selbst ihre Situation schildern.

Generally it's a good thing that there's a book that shares the experiences of affected people and I appreciate it's existence. In the beginning though I was under the impression that there's only going to be stories of the rather extreme side of the spectrum, which is not to say that it isn't important to have them but I thought it rather limiting to the overall view of the disorder if there was going to be majorily people in here who were so severly affected that they weren't able to leave their houses let alone work a regular job. All I am saying is, that I think the book would have benefitted form more stories of people with bpd on the lower side of the spectrum as well.
What I liked a lot was that there were a couple of people talking about their experiences with psychologists and psychotherapists. I believe that it is important to share the influence that a practitioner can have on the process of the therapy and I was happy that there were people speaking on it.

Ganz ausführlich und Informativ! Habe viel darüber erfahrt, was im Kopf einer Borderliner passiert. So kann man sie besser verstehen und mehr sympathisch sein. Empfehlenswert!
