Description
Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder can be a challenging and unsettling experience, but with the right guidance, healing and change are possible. This book provides a compassionate and informative guide to understanding BPD, a condition that affects 2-3% of the general population.
Written by Valerie Porr, a qualified expert in the field, this book offers supportive guidance for families and loved ones of those affected by BPD. It explains what BPD is, which therapies have proven most effective, and how to overcome the stigma associated with the disorder.
Through clear and practical advice, the book teaches effective coping behaviors and interpersonal skills, such as new ways of talking about emotions and building awareness of nonverbal communication. These skills are derived from evidence-based treatments like Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mentalization Therapy, which have been shown to reduce family conflict and increase hope and trust.
