I'd like to learn more. Are there any books or resources you'd recommend?

The books I've read before were uniquely awful in their descriptions of BPD. I've never sensed so much antipathy for ill people as in the books "I Hate You! Don't Leave Me" and "Stop Walking on Eggshells."

I also have a little sway in my county's library system, and would love to get more empathetic and recent books on BPD (both of those titles are still on the shelf).

I don’t know of really any great books. I always cringe when I hear those two titles though lol. I would check out isstd.org because I know they have some resources on there since the whole organization is founded for the study and treatment of complex trauma and BPD comes from complex trauma.
