I Hate You, Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality
People with Borderline Personality Disorder experience such violent and frightening mood swings that they often fear for their sanity. They can be euphoric one moment, despairing and depressed the next. There are an estimated 10 million sufferers of BPD living in America today—each displaying remarkably similar symptoms:
● a shaky sense of identity
● sudden violent outbursts
● oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection
● brief, turbulent love affairs
● frequent periods of intense depression
● eating disorders, drug abuse, and other self-destructive tendencies
● an irrational fear of abandonment and an inability to be alone
For years BPD was difficult to describe, diagnose, and treat. But now, for the first time, Dr. Jerold J. Kreisman and health writer Hal Straus offer much-needed professional advice, helping victims and their families to understand and cope with this troubling,shockingly widespread affliction.
This book is about people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), who experience violent mood swings, which interfere with their leading a normal life. The symptoms are: A shaky sense of identity, Sudden violent outbursts, Severe mood shifts, Oversensitivity to real or imagined rejection, Brief, turbulent love affairs, Frequent periods of intense depression, Eating disorders, drug or alcohol abuse, and other self-destructive tendencies, An irrational fear of abandonment and an inability to
It is written in the introduction of the book that it is considered the foundation of BPD, and it is indeed! It is the most informative book I have read so far about borderline personality disorder (BPD). I highly recommend it for both professionals and BPD sufferers or relatives. The professionals will get t know the historical background of the illness, in depth description of the symptoms and the most important part is the treatment and tolerance of the reluctant and changing patients. On the
This was a very tough book to get through, because I saw so much of myself in it. If you have BPD, or you know of love someone with it...this is a good book to read. It may help you in understanding a little of what they go through.

reason why it's on my "not-to-read" shelf: extremely stigmatizing language towards mental illness, suggesting women tend to more have BPD with ridiculous reasons.
This book uses astonishingly stigmatizing language. It uses phrases like, "The borderline does this" and "The bordline feels this" throughout. It's the same kind of language that, for example, old-school anthropological studies (ethnographies) tend to use-it renders "the borderline" as both a monolithic type and as other. It is insulting to presume that all people with this diagnosis are the same. Borderline was originally a diagnosis for people, nearly all women, who sought mental health care

This book is terribly outdated. It lists homosexuality as sexual deviation, and was published before the advent of SSRIs. It also predates the current treatment for borderline personality disorder, Dialetical Behavioral Therapy.
