Publisher's summary

The revised and expanded third edition of the best-selling guide to understanding borderline personality disorder - with advice for communicating with and helping the borderline individuals in your life.

After more than three decades as the essential guide to borderline personality disorder (BPD), the third edition of I Hate You - Don’t Leave Me now reflects the most up-to-date research that has opened doors to the neurobiological, genetic, and developmental roots of the disorder, as well as connections between BPD and substance abuse, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress syndrome, ADHD, and eating disorders.

Both pharmacological and psychotherapeutic advancements point to real hope for success in the treatment and understanding of BPD.

This expanded and revised edition is an invaluable resource for those diagnosed with BPD and their family, friends, and colleagues, as well as professionals and students in the field, and the practical tools and advice are easy to understand and use in your day-to-day interactions with the borderline individuals in your life.

Very relatable

Recommend to me by my therapist in learning to deal with being with someone who has BPD. Very informative and relatable to how it was being in a relationship with someone with BPD.

surprisingly informativee

so I usually do to do reviews but this was recommended to me by a dear friend who sees me struggling when I shut down she's one of the few that will reacj me she's very pushy lol. I had been struggling a lot with healing my illnesses and maybe live what I perceived as a normal life quote! I was loosing hope but it's been reignited. I am not my Illness and I just wish more people could understand. toy next adventure!!

Excellent resource

Clear descriptions and helpful examples. Useful resource for clinicians and parents. The appendix was esp useful for differentiating between BPD and similar mental health issues. Also full of hope. BPD as a set of behaviors that can be modified (and minimized to the point of perhaps no longer meeting criteria for the disorder) through therapy and skill work.
