Trustworthy and Reliable Links for Family and Friends of a BPD Loved One

There are thousands of pages of information on BPD in the public domain; some are excellent, some are misleading, some are inaccurate. There are many struggling individuals and some very angry journaling/searching on-line as part of their own recovery. All of this work is well intentioned, but not all is accurate or right for you. Scientific papers, consensus articles from professionals, pop psychology / self help books, fellow sufferers / group think - they are not the same - always consider the source.

We urge you to consider your author's background - look at the bio's and prior work - read with a very careful eye. Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex disorder and the the symtoms can be subtle or masked. To understand it and to work with requires educating yourself with a broad portfolio of resources.

We have hand picked search databases that we feel are trustrworthy and reliable - these were not created by robotic web crawlers. We do not position ourselves as the judge of what is best, but we have enough experience to weed out what is innacurate or misleading and help you start you research in a relaibale and productive way.
