"My 'gold-standard' recommendation for learning how to live with,
love, and care for people who struggle with BPD." -Jeffrey C. Wood,
PsyD, coauthor of The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills
Workbook
"This third edition of Stop Walking on Eggshells makes a very
important contribution to better understanding the complexities of
working with individuals displaying behaviors consistent with both
BPD and NPD. The authors recognize that multiple factors and other
diagnoses may also be operational and need to be taken into
account. The advice and recommendations are practical, well
explained, and give hope to clinicians and families, as well as
those struggling with these perplexing disorders."-Debra Resnick,
PsyD, clinical psychologist in private practice in the
Philadelphia, PA, area who has been teaching and practicing
dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for approximately twenty
years
"An important resource for clients who are being emotionally
abused. It identifies two types of BPD-conventional and
unconventional. While conventional BPDs typically exhibit overt
behavior such as self-harm and suicidal ideation, unconventional
BPDs don't believe they have any problems. They project their pain
onto others and refuse to take responsibility for their harmful
actions. As an expert in emotional abuse, I have identified this
behavior as emotionally abusive."-Beverly Engel, LMFT,
internationally recognized expert in emotional and sexual abuse,
and best-selling author of The Emotionally Abused Woman and The
Emotionally Abusive Relationship
"Stop Walking on Eggshells is the quintessential book for families
to understand BPD. The cases and examples are compassionate,
accurate, enlightening, and starkly realistic-providing a true
sense of how people with BPD think and feel, as well as how family
members experience their behaviors. It includes comprehensive
strategies, techniques, and responses for the most difficult
situations, and provides the newest information about causes and
help for BPD."-Margalis Fjelstad, LMFT, author of Stop Caretaking
the Borderline or Narcissist and Healing from a Narcissistic
Relationship, and coauthor of Raising Resilient Children with a
Borderline or Narcissistic Parent
"Very impressive! This third edition of Stop Walking on Eggshells
is a compendium of practical advice. Written in a friendly style,
it's like reading a letter from someone who really cares about you.
New chapters, such as the chapter on BPD in children and teenagers,
further enhance the book, discussing a previously ignored issue. I
strongly recommend this five-star book."-Christine Adamec, coauthor
of When Your Adult Child Breaks Your Heart
"Stop Walking on Eggshells makes good on its promise to restore the
lives of people in close relationships with someone diagnosed with
BPD. It is a rich guide to understanding and coping with the
reactions aroused in others by troubling BPD behaviors that
negatively impact relationships. Readers will find this book very
useful and beneficial."-Nina W. Brown, EdD, professor and Eminent
Scholar at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA; and author of
Children of the Self-Absorbed
