When Hope is Not Enough enjoys a renaissance
This past month – August 2010 – my book “When Hope is Not Enough: a how-to guide for living with and loving someone with Borderline Personality Disorder” enjoyed the best sales of any since it was published over two years ago.

I sincerely hope that the book can help you as a loved one of someone with BPD or, if you have BPD, it can help your loved ones as well. [amazonshowcase_aae6001f3f5766bb5a55f3fb147c3088] No related…

I mean from 20,000 in sales rank to 200,000+. Strange. Look you all, this book…

BPD, Self-Regulation and Others
Ok, after posting about book sales recently and stuff like that, now it’s time for a much more substantive post about BPD. Today, I plan to talk about self-regulation and a new study that points out an intriguing aspect of BPD. There has been much talk in the BPD research and clinical community about the “core” of BPD. Once it was thought to be a personality disorder or even an extreme form of PTSD. Dr. Marsha Linehan (the inventor of DBT) talks about dysregulation in a number of systems, the most important of which (in my interpretation) is the emotional regulation system. People with BPD are extremely emotionally sensitive and…
