Just Amazing,
This review is from: Lost in the Mirror: An Inside Look at Borderline Personality Disorder (Paperback)
Having read this book I finally left behind the feeling of being alone in my thoughts and fears. I had been Diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder 6 months befroe reading this book and it gave me a great insight into myself and comfort. I highly recomend anyone who has borderline Personality Disorder or who is trying to support someone with BPD to read this book. It is an easy and intersting read which isn't full of medical jargon and will without a doubt bring the reader a little clarity if not more

My Most Recommended Book for Consumers,
By patty@mhsanctuary.com (Salem, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lost in the Mirror: An Inside Look at Borderline Personality Disorder (Paperback)
I am the webowner of "Borderline Personality Disorder Sanctuary". I myself have been diagnosed with the borderline personality disorder (BPD) and as a result have lived most of my life crisis-oriented; experiencing a great deal of emotional pain. I tried everything imaginable to get better and yet nothing worked. My family sat down with me for long periods of time trying to get through to me. I went to many different counselors looking for some way out of this nightmare that I lived. As I listened to everyone it was like they were on a different planet speaking a different language. No one could understand me. Finally I got a copy of Dr. Moskovitz's book "Lost in the Mirror." I sat down and cried shortly into the first chapter. It was the very first time that someone understood me and not only that, it was as if the author had his arm around me through the entire book. Lost in the Mirror is so beautifully and gently written and it was also the first time that I realized that I was not miserable because I was a bad person which is what I had always thought. The magic of "Lost in the Mirror" is the mixture of the tremendous clinical experience and knowledge the author has (he is up to date with the research), with his very gentle, warm and caring personality. People come to me all the time asking what book I recommend for consumers and "Lost in the Mirror" is it. In fact, it is also an excellent book to assist families in understanding the borderline their lives. I have heard from many family members how helpful this book has been for them. Dr. Moskovitz brings you right up to date with his second edition in regards to treatment. He discusses the latest about psychotropic medication, EMDR and DBT. As the webmaster of BPD Sanctuary since 1996, a person who has studied the research myself, someone who has spoken to many BPD specialists, to many borderlines and families in cyberspace, and a consumer myself, this is my most recommended book for consumers. It is important to know that the BPD is treatable and that you can get better. I no longer meet the criteria for the BPD.

Amust for all affected by BPD, the individual, family and he,
By vicky farthing (MILTON KEYNES, BUCKS United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lost in the Mirror: An Inside Look at Borderline Personality Disorder (Paperback)
Having been recently diagnosed as having Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), a few years back now. I was desperate to find out what that meant about me as a person and what was instore.This book is a great start to finding more indepth information. It's not an overwhelming book with Doctors or Pychiatrists talk, it's written with the reader in mind. I have passed this book on to friends to read so they can better understand me to. A very good investment, it made a world of difference for me, I found myself saying 'yeah i thought that too' or' I know that feeling' This book could be more valuable in the early stages of recognition than therapy. A small price to pay for pricless information.
