IT IS NOT a self-help book and not particularly helpful for therapists working in 1:1 therapy.

 3 out of 10 found this review helpful

I read the book: The SIREN'S DANCE: My Marriage to a Borderline: A Case Study by Anthony Walker himself a doctor. My wife has BPD too. In the Siren's book the doctor talks about DBT and how it was not available at the time, but that it is a major new treatment. My wife is in DBT and our marriage has improved. I think that all people with BPD should be in DBT.

A must-read for not only people with BPD, but also family and friends.


The Best Book to Deal with Borderline Personality Disorder   May 27, 1999
 34 out of 37 found this review helpful

I suffer from borderline personality disorder, and the content of this book has been a great help when dealing with my emotional disability. I love this book because it focuses on "treating" the disorder, whereas other books' focuses are often the cause of the disorder or pathology of it. The positive attitude of facing the real issues of those who suffer from borderline personality disorder is encouraging. I can see the author's deep understanding of the disorder, and I appreciate her efforts to explain what the probrems really are and how to deal with them.


Effective, practical resource for emotional disorders   April 23, 1999

I am diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and this manual has been a lifesaver. It cuts through a lot of 'psychobabble', goes beyond theory and gives direct, practical techniques that teach how to identify and appropriately express emotions. I would recommend the exercises in this workbook for *anyone* with problems feeling or expressing emotions.
