Title: Informative but Disappointing
Product review: This book is loaded with an abundance of information and list of resources. If you are reading it for that purpose, you?ve found a gold mind.I bought this book hoping to find new concrete help for family members of those with bpd. I was disappointed.The chapter for the family started great, but stopped too soon. Also, the book appeared to contradict itself when it denounced boundary setting by family members when it had suggested some great books on boundaries in the self-help chapter.I found the book, Imperfect Harmony by Coleman, to repeat the good points of the New Hope. However, that book went beyond this one with depth, compassion, challenging questions for reflection, and concrete steps. He points out the benefits of his advice for both the spouse suffering from a mental illness such as BPD as well as their spouse and their children.
