How to Talk to a Borderline ReviewI was very disappointed in reading this book. Despite its title, I could find nothing of use which could be used to facilitate communication with a Borderline. The book purports to be written for the clinician rather than the general public. This is puzzling since the author seeks to redefine Borderline Personality Disorder, even going so far as to greatly expand the criteria given in the DSM-IV. This in effect steers the clinician down a false path away from the vast body of resources available to treat the illness. The author also tries to categorize BPD sufferers into eight different categories which are not true categories but merely a reshuffling and blending of existent illnesses into Borderline Personality Disorder. In effect, nearly everyone who is mentally ill becomes a Borderline. One annoying trait which occurred throughout the book was the reference to and numerous examples of men as BPD sufferers. My clinician friends, upon finding a male BPD, usually introduce him to the entire staff just to show that they exist. BPD is predominately a female illness. In this author's view, most BPD sufferers seem to be men. There is an underlying anti-Islamic tone to the book which I also found offensive and the suggestion that terrorists are Borderlines is ludicrous. For the record, I would like to state that despite what the book says, Charles Manson is not a Borderline, nor was Osama Bin Laden, nor was Saddam Hussein. I do realize that when you are discussing the spectrum of personality disorders there is a strong degree of concomitance, but BPD is the least of Charles Manson's worries and I would suggest that treatment for BPD with him would fall far short of realizing any positive outcome.How to Talk to a Borderline OverviewIn How to Talk to a Borderline, Joan Lachkar introduces Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and outlines the challenges and difficulties it presents to clinicians. She expands current understanding of BPD by outlining eight different kinds of borderline personality disorders and how each of these requires specific communication techniques and methods. Case examples are offered throughout the text and in some cases describe the kinds of partners borderlines attract. This book offers new approaches to communicating, working with, and treating borderline personality disorders while integrating more contemporary treatment methods.Want to learn more information about How to Talk to a Borderline?
