Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder

This book lays out a reasonable and realistic plan for confronting and managing the various problems faced by someone suffering from BPD. A must read for patients, therapists and supportive friends or family.

While this book is primarily for therapists treating this disorder, it can also be very educational for and quite comforting to family members of people with this disorder. People with BPD can be incredibly upsetting to family members, and not being able to understand why someone is like this can be very frustrating. To read a very detailed explanation of the disorder can be an incredible relief. While the writing style is laced with Psychological jargon (as it should be) a layperson can still understand most all of the concepts in the book. I highly recommend it.
