One of the more serious and hard-to-treat mental problems, borderline personality disorder (BPD) is also one of the most dangerous. Seventy-five percent of people with BPD will attempt suicide at some point, and ten percent ultimately take their own lives. This book offers people with BPD a detailed guide to the disorder.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mood disorder marked by extreme, fluctuating emotions, black-and-white thinking, problems with interpersonal relationships, and in extreme cases, self-harm. This book helps readers to learn the complications of the illness, the treatments available, and strategies for staying on the path to recovery.

Dialectic behavioural therapy, or DBT, is an empirically supported, comprehensive treatment that is effective for treating complex mental health problems. Originally developed as an intervention for suicidal women, and widely used to treat borderline personality disorder, DBT is now applied in working with a variety of mental health problems and is especially effective for clients who have difficulty managing and regulating their emotions. Therapists practicing DBT aim to strike a balance between validation and change by clearly communicating acceptance of who the client is and the challenges the client faces, while at the same time helping the client to learn new skills to improve emotion regulation. In this session, Dr. Alexander L. Chapman works with a male client who has trouble regulating his anger. Dr. Chapman first highlights and assesses the client's behaviour and emotions and then discusses emotion regulation strategies that the client can use to better manage anger in his daily life.

Die Diagnose Borderline klingt erschreckend und überwältigt die Betroffenen mit einer Vielzahl an Emotionen: einerseits Erleichterung, weil sie jetzt einen Namen und eine Ursache für ihr „Anderssein“ haben, andererseits Angst und Ratlosigkeit, weil sie (noch) nicht wissen, wie sie damit umgehen sollen. Alexander Chapman und Kim Gratz unterstützen Menschen mit Borderline besonders dann, wenn sie es am nötigsten brauchen: direkt nach der Diagnose. Einfühlsam und leicht verständlich erläutern sie, welche ärztlichen Informationen und Untersuchungen wichtig sind, wie mit starken Emotionen umgegangen werden kann, welche wirksamen Behandlungsmethoden es gibt und wie man sich selbst den Alltag erleichtern und Hilfe von anderen bekommen kann.
