Understanding
and Recovering from the Borderline Personality Disorder
"Life at the Border, Understanding and Recovering from the Borderline Personality Disorder" by Leland Heller M.D., is a reference book at the NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) and was placed on their recommended reading list. Dr. Heller indicates in his book "Life
at the Border," that borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a
medical disorder and that the "right medications in the right sequence,
combined with the right therapy and brain retraining works for those who
want it.'
"The evidence suggests that this disorder is medical/neurological with psychological ramifications. The approach developed by Dr. Heller has been remarkably helpful with borderline patients... With the introduction of effective
medications, psychotherapy time is shortened significantly, and the
opportunities for therapeutic success are greatly enhanced. Patients and
their families can live a more peaceful existence as the borderline goes
through recovery." "Both Drs. and patients can benefit
greatly from this innovative new book. I believe these disorders are
under diagnosed and under treated, leaving many people suffering." "This book, which is used as a
reference book by NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health), gives hope
to people who have been diagnosed with..."BPD;"... a
disorder which has been thought to be untreatable by most of the medical
community. Dr. Heller not only gives a very clear picture of the..."BPD..." but also recommends a treatment plan which
has had a very high success rate. The books sheds new light on a much
misunderstood disease and can be a life saver for anyone suffering with
this disorder." "I am impressed with the scope of your book and
believe that patients and families will find it enlightening and useful. I
plan to include it on our reading list which I send out I send out in
response to requests for information from..."these"... individuals, their
families and therapists. I would also like to request a copy for our
reference shelf" - Biological Unhappiness Dr. Heller's book "Biological Unhappiness" was released in July 1999. This book has an update on the BPD as well as diagnostic and treatment information about disorders that cause unhappiness (attention deficit disorder, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, cyclothymia, panic, generalized anxiety, phobias, substance abuse, obsessive compulsive, obsessive compulsive PD, anxiety, premenstrual syndrome and what Dr. Heller calls "fractured enjoyment"). |
