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.

Gave me clarity in understanding my BPD friend

A must read/ listen if you’ve been ghosted by your BDP partner or are in a relationship with one.

Interesting

My ex partner has bpd and after the breakup it left me lost and questioning myself.

This audio book helped relate and realise that most of it if not all was out of my control.

The constant switch between he / she was a bit annoying but overall it wasn’t bad

Plenty of information.. voice was a bit .. monotone but it did the job. Definitely something I’d reccomend, but be warned it does pull on the heart strings especially when you have someone suffering from bpd, it makes you realise they are not in control of their behaviours and it’s sad and I only wish more can be done for it.


Definitely reccomend the listen :)

Irksome use of he/she pronouns but otherwise okay

I found the constant switching backwards and forwards between “he” and “she” annoying. I get what they were trying to do, but it is a very dated approach to trying to be more inclusive. Gender neutral language exists, saying “they” covers everyone including non-binary people, removes the need to constantly change pronouns, and still fights the patriarchy.

Outside of that it was an interesting listen, certainly have gave me some ideas and areas for further research for my own practice.

Outdated and stigmatising

Sexualisation of patients, sexism, racism, and homophobia. This is so outdated and it’s damaging to an entire community of suffering people. There is better than this.
