This is an EXCELLENT book on how to effectively cope when you find yourself in the gunsights of a loved more...one or friend with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). While BPD's often experience Bipolar Disorder as a companion affliction, BPD is characterized by a random and chaotic "Jeckyll-and-Hyde" split in the way the patient relates to those around her. People are either extremely wonderful, or extremely bad. Born of feelings of self-emptiness and abandonment issues stemming from early childhood abuse(physical,emotional and/or sexual)/neglect, a Borderline's "split" can be triggred at anytime by a real or imagined "wrong" committed by whoever to whom they have become emotionally attached. Accusations fly freely from such individuals, who live in a private hell of an eternal "now", and will act impulsively to avoid feelings of emptiness, abandonment and self-loathing, often projecting their own self/other-destructive behaviors onto those for whom they care. less
