Overview
āThese survivors hit their mark in helping to change the conversation about borderline personality disorder (BPD)."
āJim Payne, former president of the National Alliance on Mental Illness
This provocative book uncovers the truth about a misunderstood and stigmatized disorder, and offers an opportunity for a deeper, more empathetic understanding of BPD from the real expertsāthe individuals living with it.
BPD affects a significant percentage of the population. It is a disorder of relationships, one whose symptoms occur most in interpersonal contextsāand thus impact any number of interpersonal connections in life. When people have BPD, they may struggle to manage their emotions on a daily basis, and have to deal with fears of abandonment, anger issues, self-injury, and even suicidalityāall of which can lead to even more instability in relationships.
In Beyond Borderline, two internationally acclaimed experts on BPDāincluding Perry Hoffman, cofounder and president of the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder (NEA-BPD)āteam up to present a rare glimpse into the lives and recovery of people affected by BPD. This powerful compilation of stories reveals the deeply personal, firsthand perspectives of people who suffer with BPD, explores the numerous ways in which this disorder has affected their lives, and outlines the most debilitating and misunderstood symptoms of BPD (the most tragic being suicide). Beyond Borderline delves into the many ways the disorder can presentāas well as the many paths to recoveryāusing evidence-based tools from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness meditation, mentalization-based therapy (MBT), and more.
BPD is a challenging disorder that impacts peopleās lives and relationships in countless ways. With this bookāfull of intimate accounts that reflect the myriad ways BPD presents and how it affects not just those afflicted, but also their loved onesāyouāll gain a deeper understanding of the disorder and learn how to move forward on the path toward healing while dealing with BPD.
