My pdoc gave me this book. I asked if it was well written (because otherwise it may not hold my attention) and he said no. I shrugged it off, but he gave it to me anyways. He agrees that I have borderline characteristics, but he's thinking maybe it's more adaptive - a survival tactic due to my situation growing up. I think he's saying my mother may be borderline. The back of the book has this list of questions on the back though and I don't think they really fit my experience with her. I do like the title though - I walked on egg shells a lot growing up because my mother was emotional and volatile. I just don't think those questions really relate. Not sure if they work for me either since they are relationship based and I've never really been in a relationship outside the casual to know if those things will happen, but they could. I do know that a lot of what Masterson says about borderline fits for me regarding abandonment and behaviors of clinging and avoiding and depression etc.

Anyone read the book - was it worth reading?
