She shows family and friends how our instinctive responses to the crises associated with BPD are frequently ineffective or even harmful, and illuminates what we can do differently, providing practical, incisive, step-by-step guidance.
People with BPD can be compassionate, caring, smart, and funny, but they are also prone to explosive emotional outbursts and highly self-destructive acts. BPD expert Dr. Shari Manning helps overwhelmed loved ones understand why their spouse, adult child, or other family member acts so impossible -- and learn to respond differently. She presents simple yet powerful strategies that can radically transform a troubled relationship. Loads of true stories demonstrate ways to defuse crises, set limits, and help the person with BPD build crucial problem-solving and emotion-management skills. Empathic, hopeful, and science based, this is the first book for significant others grounded in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), the most effective treatment for BPD. Dr. Manning is a longtime associate of DBT originator Marsha M. Linehan. This book will be particuarly important for loved ones facing the challenges of BPD; mental health professionals and students.

Book Title
Loving Someone with Borderline Personality Disorder: How to Keep Out-of-Control Emotions from Destroying Your Relationship
I bought this book for my husband as I suffer from BPD. I read it before he did and it was a great experience to read the feelings and emotions that my friends and family go through when I am at my worst. It has helped me understand myself and those who truly care about me. To read from their perspective is a great tool. I recommend it for anyone who has a loved one with BPD!!!!
Helpful for all relationships - not just BPD ones.....
Even if I didn't have family with this disorder it would have helped with personal relationships in general. It's a great "how-to" book with exact instructions on situations. This would have been a great first book to use when dealing with Borderlines!
I have someone I know with such a problem. I liked the book because it was informative and easy to read. I would recommend to anyone who wants to know about this malady.
