http://www.bpdrecovery.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=22

Whether you have been diagnosed, you recognize yourself in the criteria or someone has suggested to you that you might suffer from BPD, this book is a definite "must-have" in your library as you work toward achieving a healthier, happier lifestyle. Putting The Pieces Together is a practical guide to recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder by teaching the reader how to achieve healthy, happy living. While the book is primarily geared toward helping a person living with BPD, anyone may benefit from the simple but effective techniques offered. This book is quite unlike any other currently on the shelves. While there are some truly wonderful sources available to Borderlines, most are written by professionals in the mental health field and offer only a clinical, impartial understanding of the disorder. While these people are highly competent in their base of knowledge, can they truly understand what it's like to live with BPD for years on end, let alone a daily basis? Other books have been written by recovered Borderlines however they tend to focus solely on the personal journey the author undertook to achieve their present state of mental health. While those books are quite moving, touching and inspirational, they don't offer the practical advice, understanding and compassion of tried-and-true techniques for recovery. Putting The Pieces Together is the first book of its kind to offer both sides of the coin. As it dissects the diagnostic criteria of BPD, it also explores the psyche of a Borderline from an insider's perspective to which those who suffer from the disorder can genuinely relate. Putting The Pieces Together is an ideal 'how to' book that will serve as your companion during your journey to mental health, stability and happiness offering support and reassurance along with some of the most practical and easy-to-learn coping techniques that will get you through just about any situation you might encounter.
