Books for a person with a BPD child?

[Ahoy]

Hi all, my Aunt just found out her daughter is likely BPD. She's in treatment but is under close watch due to self harm episodes.

Can anyone recommend any books about parenting BPD for me to pass on to her? I'm only familiar with the relationship related ones.

Cheers

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi i am sure your aunt is feeling lost at the moment and it is good of you to try and help.At the moment I am reading 'Loving Someone with Borderline Personality Disorder' by Shari Y. Manning. It isn't just for parents but it does cover that aspect.

How old is the daughter?

For adolescents the book "BPD in Adolescents" by Dr. Blaise Aguirre is highly recommended.


We would be happy to welcome your aunt here on the Parenting Board to give her support and learn with her.
