Summary: OUTSTANDING BOOK! A must read!
Review: As a borderline, I was shocked by the author's understanding of the world I live in. The book gave me hope, helped me understand myself more, and know that I am not alone. I advise every borderline to read this book and their families as well. The author even has a section for families. The author clearly has empathy and understanding of the borderline disorder. From reading the book I now know there is treatment. I feel better after finding this book!

Summary: A Breakthrough for BPD's Who've Been Told They Can't Heal
Review: As both a clinical social worker and someone living with BPD, I recommend this book to people all the time. There are a lot of writings out there that make BPD seem like a hopeless diagnosis: This is NOT one of those books. By using both a clinical and narrative approach, this author has captured BPD in an accessible manner that is absent in other BPD books.Excellent for people living with BPD and their families.

Summary: Condescending And Shallow
Review: At the beginning of this book, the autor warns that "If you have borderline personality disorder, you may accept everything this book says without question, or you may want to throw it against a wall." Well, alright, I considered myself duly warned. So I read it twice. I set it down for month and I read it a third time, just to be sure I wasn't overreacting. And then I decided that I wanted to lock Richard Moskovitz, M.D., in a very, very small closet with Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) and Madonna. Not only is this book condescending and facile, but it makes wild statements like "one in ten american WOMEN has borderline personality disorder." Note here: WOMEN, not people. Moskovitz states that men are usually diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder instead. What is this, pink for girls, blue for boys? And if ten percent of the american female population has this disorder, isn't it a social problem rather than a psychiatric one? What is it that our society is doing to women to make them "persistently unstable"? Moskovitz also states that the only treatment for this disorder is lengthy, and expensive psychotherapy and possible hospitalization. This stikes me as supremely self-serving; more money going into the pocket of therapists to "treat" women for a disorder that exists primarily in the minds of psychotherapists. In addition, when explaining BPD, Moskovitz uses very select, pureed and pablum-ized criteria from the DSM IV. Why not use the whole thing? Couldn't the guy afford a couple more pages? Did he think he would confuse the poor little women? For a doctor who states that to purpose to his book is to enlighten the reader to the details of her "disorder", this strikes me as high hypocracy. Throughout this book, Moskovitz goes on the premise that women afflicted with this so-called disorder are not only fragile, but stupid. I'm glad it's out of print. Save yourself the time/money and but "Girl, Interrupted" instead. And if your therapist or psychiatrist is so lazy as to throw you into a BS trashcan diagnosis like this one, do yourself a favor: get another therapist.

Summary: The 3 books you MUST read to get a full picture of BPD
Review: For the lay public, and easy to read 1) "Lost in the mirror" to validate the suffering of someone with BPD
2) "The Siren's Dance : My Marriage to a Borderline: A Case Study" to validate what the partner of someone with BPD goes through.
3) "Stop Walking on Eggshells; Coping When Someone You Care about Has Borderline Personality Disorder" as a blueprint of how loved ones can deal with the condition.

Summary: I've finally found something that describes ME!
Review: Having finished this very readable book in one sitting, I found myself excitedly turning page after page wondering what would be the next insight into myself! Richard Moskovitz has found a way to communicate about a very difficult-to-describe subject matter in a most captivating
way!
