Title: Borderline PD Book Recommendations
Post by: Catbrian on March 12, 2013, 10:48:01 PM

My Care Coordinator (CPN) sent me a load of fact sheet info on BPD, including book recommendations.  I thought they might be useful for anyone who enjoys reading

“Borderline Personality Disorder Demystified”.  By Robert O. Friedel

Robert O Friedel is a Psychiatrist with extensive experience in clinical care, research, and teaching in the PD field
This book is a comprehensive guide to BPD that relies heavily on the existing information from the research literature.  It is for people who have, or think they have, BPD


“Understanding and Treating BPD: An update for professionals and families”.  By John G Gunderson and 
                                                                                                                                       Perry D Hoffman

This book is different from others because its primary intended readers are the families of people suffering from BPD


“Get me out of here”.  By Rachael Reiland

This is a well written, articulate, honest and sometimes humorous account of the personal experiences of a young woman who is suffering the disorder.  The author clearly describes her progress and set backs
It also provides detailed insight into the process of one form of psychotherapy used in the treatment of BPD, “Psychodynamic psychotherapy”.

Not a book on Borderline Personality Disorder, but a good read no the less.
