This book offers advice for people who live with or are otherwise close to a person with borderline personality disorder. It is easy to read, and covers a broad range of specific topics from how to set and maintain your boundaries, to how to handle suicidal and self harming behaviour. It would probably be more helpful for the non-professional, but even as a clinical psychologist, I found it worth reading. A single point of criticism is that it puts too much emphasis on a cognitive-behavioural understanding of and approach to the treatment of this personality disorder and tends to ignore other theoretical approaches such as psychodynamic, especially object-relations theories.
