The Buddha and The Borderline
The Borderline and The Buddha, by Kiera Van Gelder, is a brilliant book. It is a memoir about the author’s experience, understanding, recovery process, and insight into Borderline Personality Disorder.
From Amazon:
Product Description
The Buddha and the Borderline is a riveting, first-person account of one woman’s struggle with borderline personality disorder (BPD)-a diagnosis some have called a psychiatric death sentence-and her eventual triumph over her symptoms through dialectical behavior therapy and Buddhist spirituality.
