This book develops a comprehensive understanding of Antisocial, Narcissistic, and Borderline Personality Disorders by seeing personality as a dual construct. Merging research and clinical systems into a wholistic model, the text examines personality development and expression and addresses the interpersonal system that keeps the pathology from extinguishing. Chapters discuss origin and symptom manifestation, system and pathology perpetuation, and online behavior expression, ending with practical treatment methods. Researchers and clinicians are challenged to explore the utility of the DSM-5 alternative model of personality disorders and gain a deeper
understanding of such disorders.
If you’ve been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) you may feel a number of emotions—including shock, shame, sadness, abandonment, emptiness, or even anger. Even worse, you may be tempted to research your diagnosis online, only to find doomsday scenarios and terrible prognoses everywhere you click. Take a deep breath. You can get through this—and this workbook will help guide you.
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.
