    Synopsis

    Over six million Americans suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), a chronic, disabling psychiatric condition that causes extreme instability in their emotional lives, behavior, and self-image, and severely impacts their family and friends. In Borderline Personality Disorder Demystified, Dr. Robert Friedel, a leading expert in BPD and a pioneer in its treatment, has turned his vast personal experience into a useful and supportive guide for everyone living with and seeking to understand this condition. Friedel helps readers grasp the etiology of Borderline Personality Disorder, the course it takes, the difficulties in diagnosing it, the types of treatment available, strategies for coping, and much more. Borderline Personality Disorder Demystified is an invaluable resource for everyone diagnosed with BPD, those who think they might have the illness, and friends and family who love and support them.

    April 02, 2008: After reading the diagnostic criteria and now understanding the biological and environmental conditioners for this disease and experiencing all 9 of the symptoms described by Friedel with my now separated wife, I find that I can now understand completely where her meanness and irrational behavior comes from. How does one go about telling her about this because she is one that flat out does not want to know - she defends herself - to the destruction of her relationships? Is someone who's lived with this for 53 years able to open themselves up to the therapys described? Or are they left to their own devices forever? I'm heartbroken over this and needed this book to understand what happened to my wife.
