Sinopsis

A substantial fraction of the people around us suffer from personality disorders. To cope, they distort both their reality and ours. Their behavior can be baffling and puzzling, and worse, they often abuse those closest to them. The author presents a new and effective way for people to understand and recognize the three of these disorders that often lead to abusive behavior. Describing each using a single dynamic - an underlying motivation - rather than a list of behaviors is an easier way to grasp and deal with these disorders. He then describes the psychological defense mechanisms that stabilize the distorted world created by the disordered, and explains how substance abuse adds fuel to the fire of disordered behavior. he also offers the latest thinking on the prospects for improvement with treatment, and a realistic perspective on the likelihood that the disordered will choose this path.

Acerca del autor

Richard Skerritt is a writer, publisher, inventor, engineer, and athlete. A survivor of a marriage that turned abusive, he forged a path through confusion, love, obligation, and emotional damage to safety and truer life. His experience and insight, shared in his first book Tears and Healing, originated in his contributions to online support groups for people in relationships with a partner who has borderline personality disorder. In recent years he has consulted by phone with people dealing with all kinds of abusive situations. Not a mental health professional, his perspectives and guidance "from the inside out" have been especially relevant for people in abusive relationships.
