Overcoming Borderline Personality Disorder is a compassionate and informative guide to understanding this profoundly unsettling - and widely misunderstood - mental illness, believed to affect approximately six percent of the general population. Rather than viewing people with BPD as manipulative opponents in a bitter struggle, or pitying them as emotional invalids, Valerie Porr cites cutting-edge science to show that BPD is a true neurobiological disorder and not, as many come to believe, a character flaw or the result of bad parenting.

Allows you to guide your loved one in a way she can accept. Reenforces our own hurt, frustration and anger we feel with a partner with BPD ... while explaining her behavior without you having to accept and or enable them. Let’s “her be her” but with stability and a layered foundation with the hope they can or will change. Numerous good chapters ... especially 12 and 13! Stay with it.....to the end of the book! 😊. All the best in your journey!
