As someone who bought this book to support loved ones and a Christian mental health therapist by background, I am truly disgusted by the book. I have only made it to page 18 but I am so shocked by the language used. I had to check again if the writers were Christian as I didn’t feel this book showed love or empathy. Saying “deviant behaviours” “how to identify troublesome people” ”people like Mark” even the analogies e.g. comparing a serious mental health condition to Swiss Cheese is egregious. I truly wish I could give 0 stars but I cannot. If there is anyone out there looking to support their loved ones with BPD or any other challenge that has been written by this author, it is better to read the Bible for yourself and use other resources. I pray that we do not engage blindly with literature because of who has written it but because it actually accords to what God says about his children
