Stop Walking on Eggshells... everynametaken Send a noteboard - 22/02/2012 03:00:07 AM
What was it?

What kind of book (i.e. genre)?

Did you enjoy it?

Would you recommend it to others, and if so, who might enjoy it?


The full title is:
Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care About Has Borderline Personality Disorder by Paul T. Mason and Randi Kreger

Probably not what anybody expected! ;)

It is about Borderline Personality Disorder and I am reading it to help my brother. I gave him the audio version and I am making notes in the print version (well, eBook anyways). He went through probably one of the worst divorces I've ever heard of due to his ex-wife's BPD. It is an ongoing struggle to deal with her sickness and the ensuing parental alienation she is trying with the kids. The courts and a shrink is involved and I am searching for ways to work with him through this. This book is not oriented toward the BPD but rather the non-BPD's who have to work with the BPD. It is an excellent book on the subject and written for the layperson with no experience in psychology. If anybody is dealing with this disorder in a loved one (or not-so-loved-one) then I highly recommend it.
