<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Get to know the ins and outs of BPD--and make the choice to change!</b></p> <p>Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is an extremely serious--and often seriously neglected--condition. Despite around 4 million diagnoses in the USA, BPD has attracted lower funding and levels of clinical concern than more popular conditions such as bipolar disorder. But there's no need to lose hope! <i>Borderline Personality Disorder For Dummies</i>, 2nd Edition was written to bridge this gap and help sufferers learn how to break the cycle to lead a full and happy life.</p> <p>BPD impacts the way you think and feel about yourself and others and can cause long-term patterns of disruptive relationships and difficulties with self-control. It often results from childhood abuse or neglect, as well as from genetic or brain abnormalities--particularly in areas of the brain that regulate emotion, impulsivity, and aggression. Knowing how it works means we know how to manage it, and <i>Borderline Personality Disorder For Dummies</i>--written in a friendly, easy-to-follow style by two leading clinical psychologists--is packed with useful techniques to do just that: from identifying triggers to finding the right care provider.</p> <ul> <li>Get a compassionate, actionable understanding of the symptoms and history of BPD</li> <li>Acquire techniques to identify and halt damaging behaviors</li> <li>Evaluate providers and the latest therapies and treatments</li> <li>Set goals and habits to overcome problems step-by-step</li> </ul> <p>BPD should never be allowed to dictate anyone's existence.
