resources in Japanese?

[Our abuse recovery guide]

Hello,

I just starting reading the book "Stop Walking on Eggshells", and I would love to get a Japanese language version, or a similar book in Japanese for my mum to read.
The author Randi Kreger mentions that there is a Japanese publisher for this book but my google search has come up with nothing.

Any Japanese speakers out there who can point me in the right direction or suggest some resources? Any leads or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Randi Kreger wrote the book, and gives lectures in Japan (assume English with a translator?), but it's probably best to just send her an eMail asking where to buy a Japanese copy because she'd surely know - or be able to tell you the email address for the publisher. https://www.bpdcentral.com/about/contact/ has a webform to contact her - but I'm pretty sure I've seen her email address floating around (possibly inside the book itself?)

Thank you, PearlsBefore!
I followed the link you posted and sent off an email; fingers crossed that there is some good translated material out there, as my mom definitely needs these resources more than myself at this point.

https://www.kinokuniya.co.jp/f/dsg-01-9784791106776 looks like it is The ABCs of BPD in Japanese, and I can't tell for certain if https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E5%A2%83%E7%95%8C%E6%80%A7%E4%BA%BA%E6%A0%BC%E9%9A%9C%E5%AE%B3-BPD-%E5%AE%9F%E8%B7%B5%E3%83%AF%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%96%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E2%80%95%E3%81%AF%E3%82%8C%E3%82%82%E3%81%AE%E3%81%AB%E3%81%95%E3%82%8F%E3%82%8B%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E3%81%AA%E6%AF%8E%E6%97%A5%E3%82%92%E3%81%99%E3%81%94%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%81%84%E3%82%8B%E6%96%B9%E3%80%85%E3%81%AE%E3%81%9F%E3%82%81%E3%81%AE%E5%85%B7%E4%BD%93%E7%9A%84%E5%AF%BE%E5%87%A6%E6%B3%95-%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3-%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AC%E3%83%BC/dp/4791105931 is similar (there's a fun web address to copy/paste). https://corot.nise.go.jp/opc/en/xc/search/%2A?ql=1&filter%5B%5D=all_authors_fc%3A%22Kreger%2C%20Randi%22 lists a couple other books printed in Japanese but appears to be a loaning library rather than a shop (I'll assume your Japanese is superior to my "skimming for English words") but at least offers titles.

The url www.repository.seinan-gu.ac.jp/bitstream/handle/123456789/214/th-n64v1-p111-131-mat.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y may also be useful?

Thank you so much for you help, PearlsBefore, I really appreciate it!
I got an email response today with a link to an online japanese bookshop that I was going to post here in case someone else had a similar question, but it's the same as the link you provided!
I'm impressed at your internet search skills, I can read a tiny bit of japanese but I quickly found myself at many internet dead ends during my sleuthing.

Very grateful for your help, and this forum.

oh, and in case anyone else ever reads this for info, some reviewers reported that the books aren't translated very well into japanese. (I can't verify whether this is true or not, as I had to google translate the reviews into english myself!)
one reviewer recommended a japanese book on bpd by a man named Takashi Okada that is apparently written in a way that reads a bit more naturally in japanese.  I am looking into it.

I found (besides clicking on the helpful links by PearlsBefore, and emailing the administrators of this website), that going to your countries' amazon site and then entering Randi Kreger in the search field will bring up all the books in circulation. On amazon.ca, I saw her work in french and portuguese translated books as well as Japanese.

going to amazon.jp and typing ランディ クリーガー (Randi Kreger) in the search field then toggling back and forth with google translate was quite informative.

good luck everyone

I found the book 境界性パーソナリティ障害の人の気持ちがわかる本 to be a very gentle introduction:

It doesn’t go very deep though. I just happened to see it at the library and was shocked how some quotes and behaviours matched exactly my partner (first screenshot - “don’t go to work, stay with me”, “think only of me...”)

Hello lateappointment,

Thank you for your suggestion!
It sounds like your reading level in Japanese is very advanced/you are a native Japanese speaker? or you have great translating software? haha, anyway i would love ANY and all suggestions for more resources if you think of more!

With my limited japanese vocabulary and reading skills, the added language barrier makes my family dynamic a real challenge.

Also Kudos to you for supporting and being with your bpd partner, based on my experience with the illness, I can only imagine how challenging it must be at times for you.
