Description
There’s no one-size-fits-all treatment for BPD—especially if you have a coexisting condition. BPD rarely occurs alone. For the first time, this groundbreaking guide offers a tailored approach to managing the symptoms of complex BPD.
If you’ve been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), or suspect that you might have it, you should know that not everyone experiences the condition in the same way. BPD actually manifests on a spectrum, and while some people may encounter extreme symptoms and consequences on one end, others may be less affected on the other. In addition, if you’re struggling with other conditions—such as bipolar disorder, depression, psychotic symptoms, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)—you may have complex BPD (C-BPD), and may benefit from expanding your knowledge and building your skills, so you can seek out a symptom management plan that is tailored to your unique needs.
In Complex Borderline Personality Disorder, psychologist and BPD expert Daniel J. Fox offers a new understanding and awareness of the complexity of BPD, and helps you lay the groundwork needed to manage your symptoms more effectively. You’ll find checklists of specific symptoms to help you identify coexisting conditions related to BPD. And with this guide, you’ll feel more empowered to move forward in your life with all the knowledge, skills, and abilities you’ve learned.
I’m studying to be a therapist and I’ve thrown myself into learning all I can about perosonality disorders as that is my passion. This book lines up really well with all the stuff I had learned from other books and professors while providing me with some new information. This book is written in a way that’s easy to understand and I think everyone should read this.
It is concise and readable. It clearly explains the behaviors of sociopaths,etc. The author is not heavy-handed in his descriptions and advice. There is a lot of information on how to pick up the signs and signals of these psychological predators.
I was in a personal relationship with a sociopath for 4 years. I knew something was very wrong with that person but was not sure what exactly. I was abused and manipulated by that person and finally broke up with him. When I was reading this book, it made me very emotional remembering constant abuse, manipulation, cheating & lying by my sociopathic ex. This book described him to a tee. Im thankful for this book and hope it will help others identify and protect themselves from sociopaths & psychopaths.
This is a great resource for multiple reasons not just BPD specifically. I have BPD, ADHD, CPTSD and I’m bipolar. This is a great book for understanding loved ones more or understanding yourself more.
Helped me a lot to understand Complex BPD. Easy to understand.
