I second this. Have this myself.

Also, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1...ls_o06_s00_i00

It has poems, stories, etc. from people with BPD or who have recovered.

I don't know if this is what you were looking for, but Rewriting the Soul by Ian Hacking is by far the best philosophical/theoretical treatment of MPD I've read.

"get me out of here" is a good book and I would recommend it also.

I got a LOT out of "Understanding the Borderline Mother" Helping Her Children Transcend the Intense, Unpredictable, and Volatile Relationship, by Christine Ann Lawson.

I most definitely recommend "Evil Genes" by Barbara Oakley. It is not BPD themed exclusively, but a great deal of it concerns it. It's very well written and educational. For those who want to know (and understand) more than just the surface of disorders and "evil" in general.
Thanks for this!

"I Hate You, Don't Leave Me" is great for BPD's as well as family, friends, and medical professionals alike!

Has anyone read "Girl in Need of a Tourniquet"?
I am considering picking it up, but just wondering if it's been helpful for anyone else.
