"Daniel S. Lobel has crafted a practical guide to help parents deal
with an illness that is extremely difficult to treat. He offers
realistic, positive, and compassionate suggestions to maximize
success in parenting a daughter with BPD, and addresses not only
her struggles but those of the parents and family as well. It is a
valuable tool for those of us who are trying to understand the
challenges we face."
--Parent
"Daniel S. Lobel nails it. In clear language, he vividly depicts
the struggles a family undergoes when a daughter has borderline
personality disorder (BPD). Do not think drug treatments alone will
suffice, or that a magical moment will change everything. What
Lobel makes transparent is how necessary sound psychology is and
how, properly applied, we now know enough to expect a happy
outcome. Do not be intimidated by psychiatry or your daughter. This
book masterfully lays out how to proceed and what is necessary to
grasp."
--Arnold Wilson, PhD, training and supervising psychoanalyst
at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR),
and lecturer in psychiatry at Columbia University College of
Physicians and Surgeons
"If your child--whether young or grown--suffers from BPD, you are
suffering as well. That's because this problem affects the entire
family, and requires specialized parenting skills. Using case
examples and an easy-to-understand approach, Daniel S. Lobel has
produced a handbook that can change countless lives."
--Mark R. Banschick, MD, child and adolescent psychiatrist
and author of The Intelligent Divorce
