Publisher's Summary

If you have a daughter with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you may feel frustration, shame, and your family may be at the breaking point dealing with angry outbursts, threats, and constant emergencies. You may even feel guilty for not enjoying spending time with your child - but how can you when her behavior is abusive toward you and the rest of your family? You need solid skills you can use now to help your daughter and hold your family together.

In this important guide, you'll learn real solutions and strategies based in proven-effective DBT and CBT to help you weather the storm of BPD and restore a sense of normalcy and balance in your life. You'll find an overview of BPD so you can better understand the driving forces behind your daughter's difficult behavior. You'll discover how you can help your daughter get the help she needs while also setting boundaries that foster respect and self-care for you and others in your family. And, most importantly, you'll learn "emergency parenting techniques" to help you put a stop to abusive patterns and restore peace.

If your daughter has BPD and your family is struggling to make it through each day, this book offers essential skills to help you cope and recover a sense of stability.

Presents only one version of BPD

My daughter has BPD, which is why I bought this book. I didn't recognise my daughter in this book. Nor did I recognise my sister, and a close friend, who also have BPD. This book presumes that BPD necessarily involves some very unpleasant behaviours. Listening to this book, it would be hard to imagine that a person with BPD could be someone you'd like to be around, but in my experience, the person who is most harmed by the BPD is the sufferer themselves. My daughter, for example, is disorganised, gets upset easily and finds it hard to calm down, but she is a perfectly lovely person with many friends. My sister has extreme emotional responses, but it's unlikely that anyone would notice them beyond her immediate family. All three of the people I know with BPD suffered some form of trauma as a young person, which, as I understand it, is fairly common, but there is little acknowledgement of this in the book. I have no doubt that Dr Lobel knows more about BPD than I do, but I wonder if the understanding of the disorder has expanded since this book was published.
