 - This book scared the h*ll out of me - you should read it too!I bought this book after learning from a counsellor that a significant person in my life was more than likely suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder. It was not a pleasant read for me: The descriptions of the symptoms and issues others like me had to deal-with simply hit too close to home. I had a hard time sleeping if I read this book before going to bed. Even so, it was something that I, and others facing persons in their life with this disorder, should read. I wish I had known a long time ago how to cope with the behaviors that those with BPD exhibit. Doing so would have saved alot of grief and pain for myself and those I love. In retrospect, I wish I had been able to apply the advice of Paul Mason and Randi Kreger to my own situation. If you are living with someone who feels they must control every aspect of the world around them, who sees the world only in terms of "black" and "white" with no grey areas, and/or who uses rage and anger to dominate those around them, then you must read this book. Enough said? I would also suggest searching the internet for sites devoted to this disease - there are several very good organizations devoted to helping people, like you and me, who are (or were) trapped in relationships with a BPD partner: they can help you overcome many or most of the issues you face. Rating: - A Necessary book for those related to people with BPDI think this is the best book on the market for those who have people who have Borderline Personality Disorder to read and buy themselves. It has so much information not only on BPD but gives advice and ways for family members and those who are around those of us who have the BPD disgnosis to be able to deal with us. Rating:  - Stop Walking on EggshellsThis is a good book for someone who has no idea what "The Borderline Personality" is. I had asked a psychiatrist what self help book could I read to help me understand BPD? He recommended this book. The reason I gave it four stars?? It didn't get into the nitty gritty and also the person I don't think had personal experience just studies. It is overall a very good book and I do recommend this book. Easy reading. Rating: - Very helpfulI found this book to be very enlightening. My daughter has not been diagnosed with BPD but shows some symptoms of it so her psychiatrist recommended we read it. Since it also gives you tips on how to deal with BPDs, it was really helpful. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a friend or relative with BPD for compassionate understanding of the disorder but also tips on how to manage your own life.
