If you have borderline personality disorder (BPD), you know that the intensity of your emotions can be suffocating, and can lead to self destructive behavior and relationship difficulties. Fluctuating emotions, black and white thinking, and a tendency to self-harm can make BPD especially difficult to treat. As an answer to the lack of effective treatment available Dr. Marsha Linehan developed dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a combination of Western cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practice, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Since its creation, DBT has proven extremely successful in the treatment of BPD. Written by Blaise Aguirre, a prominent psychiatrist specializing in the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD), "Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder"offers a new, mindfulness-based approach to emotion regulation and the common symptoms associated with BPD. The mindfulness treatments outlined in this book are based on the author's highly successful program at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital, and are drawn from DBT.

If you are suffering from BPD, the practice of mindfulness can offer comfort, calm, and hope. This book will look at the ways in which mindfulness can be used to address the specific symptoms of BPD, teaching the basics of mindfulness, providing specific mindfulness exercises, application to the symptoms of BPD, and examples from patients as they have begun the path out of suffering using mindfulness.

If you are ready to change your life and minimize your symptoms, this book is a powerful, evidence-based tool that can help.

Industry Reviews
âUntil relatively recently, there has been little to relieve the pronounced suffering of those living with borderline personality disorder. In their lucid and deeply compassionate book, Blaise Aguirre and Gillian Galen explore how mindfulnessâ"the essential strategy in dialectical behavior therapy, developed by preeminent psychologist Marsha Linehanâ"can open the doors to genuine healing. This informative and accessible guide includes a rich set of mindfulness exercises and short case studies to bring inner ease, resourcefulness, and freedom. Whether you experience borderline symptomology, have loved ones who struggle with this condition, or are a therapist seeking to enhance your skills, this book will provide you with invaluable support and inspiration."
