Negative Positive
Title: Superficial generalities
Review: This book summarizes the work of others and presents their findings as a setof lists. It then gives a series of pep talks concerning self worth. I have an adult brother with BPD and none of the recommendations are relevant. My brother has abused his spouse and his children. He hates his grandchildren and expressly lets them know of his dislike. In the face of a continuing barrage of abuse and threats, the only solution in my opinion is to cauterize the relationship--cut all contact take out a peace bond if necessary change your phone number, emsil address, etc. That is admit that the person is cruel, dishonest and manipulative and there is not treatment for this condition. This book touches on acceptance, forgiveness and dealing with the person with BPD. This only continues the torture.
Is the review positive or negative?
