Product Description

Product Description

Psychotherapists have long worked with children, young and old, of borderline mothers. In this work, Dr Lawson seeks to bring readers into the world of the borderline child. She describes four basic profiles: the Waif Mother, the Hermit Mother, the Queen Mother and the Witch. She shows how to love the Waif without rescuing her, to love the Hermit without feeding her fear, to love the Queen without becoming her subject, and to live with the Witch without becoming her victim.

5.0 out of 5 stars In praise of an extraordinary, enlightening book., 20 April 2001
By A Customer
Pitiful yet sinister, tyrannical yet terrified, the borderline mother is full of paradoxes which make it difficult for her children to grasp her problems, for which they inevitably blame themselves. This book explains and illustrates this devastating disorder in terms that are easy for the layman to follow. Children of mothers with BPD will feel less alone, less confused and stronger for reading this book. Dr Lawson gives methods for handling the borderline mother in her various avatars of waif, hermit, queen and witch. Though the book cannot offer a "cure", the insights it offers help to make this difficult relationship easier to endure.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book, 10 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding the Borderline Mother: Helping Her Children Transcend the Intense, Unpredictable, and Volatile Relationship (Paperback)
As the child of a borderline mother, I was delighted to find a book that said what my childhood was like. This book is brilliantly written, effortlessly mixing psychological jargon with fairytale metaphors. Everyone who has a mother with borderline personality disorder should read this book, it is truly validating.
