If you have a child with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you are all-too-aware of the behavioral and emotional issues that are linked to this disorder-including rages, self-harm, sexual acting out, substance abuse, suicidal behaviors, physical and emotional attacks, and more. Traditional parenting strategies that work on other kids just don't work with a borderline child. But you shouldn't lose hope. The good news is that there are parenting strategies that do work.

New hope for those suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, ADHD, and more. Though incidence of these conditions is skyrocketing, for the past four decades standard treatment hasn’t much changed, and success rates in treating them have barely improved, either. Meanwhile, the stigma of the “mental illness” label - damaging and devastating on its own - can often prevent sufferers from getting the help they need. Brain specialist and best-selling author Dr. Daniel Amen aims to change all that.

Schizophrenia has become a recognized psychotic disorder in modern day psychology and research has shown that one in 100 people suffer from this disease in some proportion or degree. It is a dreaded disease and comes as a near death blow to those who are diagnosed with this condition. This fear does not necessarily arise from the scary disease it actually is, but various misconceptions, myths, and misunderstanding that surround it. This disorder has been very thoroughly misunderstood and misrepresented.

Behind nearly every adult who is accused of a crime, becomes addicted to drugs or alcohol, or who is severely mentally ill and acting out in public, there is usually at least one extremely stressed-out parent. This parent may initially react with the bad news of their adult child behaving badly with, "Oh no!" followed by, "How can I help to fix this?" A very common third reaction is the thought, "Where did I go wrong - was it something I said or did, or that I failed to do when my child was growing up that caused these issues? Is this really somehow all my fault?"

Don and Mimi Galvin seemed to be living the American dream. After World War II, Don's work with the Air Force brought them to Colorado, where their 12 children perfectly spanned the baby boom: the oldest born in 1945, the youngest in 1965. In those years, there was an established script for a family like the Galvins - aspiration, hard work, upward mobility, domestic harmony. But behind the scenes was a different story: psychological breakdown, sudden shocking violence, hidden abuse. By the mid-1970s, six of the 10 Galvin boys, one after another, were diagnosed as schizophrenic.

He had no idea what it was like to be on the inside looking out until his son, Mike, was declared mentally ill, and Earley was thrown headlong into the maze of contradictions, disparities, and catch-22s that is America's mental health system.

Publisher's Summary
Narrated by Dr. Amador, this abridged version includes part one and part two (10 chapters total) of the book, and specifically focuses on anosognosia and LEAP.
Dr. Amador’s research on poor insight was inspired by his attempts to help his brother, Henry, who developed schizophrenia, accept treatment. Like tens of millions of others diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, Henry did not believe he was ill. Through lessons learned from thousands of LEAP seminar participants, Dr. Amador helps listeners quickly and effectively use the LEAP method to help someone accept treatment.
I Am Not Sick, I Don’t Need Help! is not just a reference for mental health practitioners and law enforcement, it also is a must-have guide for family members whose loved ones are battling mental illness.
Listen and learn as have hundreds of thousands of others...to LEAP - listen, empathize, agree, and partner - and help your patients and loved ones accept the treatment they need.

This is NOT the complete book!
I wanted to try audible via the free trial offered. Boy, am I glad I did! I realized only after buying the physical book that audible is not providing the entire “story” (pun intended). There are 20 chapters in the physical book yet only 15 on the audible version. I feel quite gypped! Causes one to wonder if they condense all their books.

INVALUABLE
As an aunty living with and looking after a 22-year old niece with bipolar disorder, I find this book to be a MUST READ/LISTEN for anyone who has a family member or friend wth schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
All of the things you think you know about communicating DO NOT APPLY and you will frustrate yourself (and damage your relationship with your loved one) if you don't take the time to arm yourself with the proper tools. This book offers those very tools. I am so excited to begin having these conversations with my niece. That's something I haven't quite felt since she got sick and we went down this rabbit hole...

A different and seemingly more effective approach
This book outlines a different and seemingly more effective approach to treatment of mental illness. You will better learn the thoughts of the person whom you are trying to help (tormenting) and learn why the traditional approach is futile. Then Dr. Amadaor teaches you how to make his whole program work for you and your loved ones so you can pick up the pieces and move on with your lives. By focusing on common goals and listening reflectively (as opposed to reactively) you can start to put the pieces of your lives back together again. These are principles founded in emotional intelligence and winning other people over to your way of thinking. When you've tried everything else, try this!

Its great information!
I truly appreciate you for taking the time to share a different prospective of how I can help my mother out. I see now its very important not to agrue with our love one just listen and just act like we understand them and repeat what they say but we don't have to agree with them. Once we get them thinking we are allowing them to express themselves we may hopefully be successful at them being treated for their mental illness.

Has given me Hope for my Son
I have just finished this book and it brought me to tears and the reality of my sons 5 year plus battle with mental illness was when you mentioned mourning the person that you are losing through the mental illness, it is so true, I realise now that I will never have my son back to the way he was and what he hoped and dreamed when he didn't have his illness, he also refuses all help, medications and we have been going in circles calling police etc.. and getting nowhere. I'm going to try all the things that you have said in your book, but he thinks myself and my husband are conspiring against him so I don't know how that will work, his brother is good pals with him so I will give him the book to listen to. My whole perspective has changed now and I feel if I give this a go and accept my son as he is now and not keep trying and hoping to have him the way he was and never will be again. And hopefully he will go on medication someday and we will all have a new different happier life. Great listen. Thank you.

A Context for Communication
Dr. Xavier Amador thinks people suffering psychosis may experience anosognosia caused by a deficit in brain function related to their disease. It is this deficit which makes them unable to believe they are sick and need treatment. This book is based on his years of clinical experience. In it he provides the reader with a framework for communicating with our "loved ones" who are experiencing psychosis and helping them to accept treatment.
While no panacea Dr Amador's framework for communication provides a structured practise for those of us seeking to understand and aid a "loved one" experiencing psychotic illness and refusing treatment.
