You don't need to live with someone who has a personality disorder to find this book useful. Many of the techniques described in this book are are useful in any relationship where you find yourself with feelings of being manipulated, someone overstepping the boundaries or those who live in a whirl of conflict you don't feel you can handle. The authors handle the issue sensitively and don't accuse either party of being "bad people". The book focuses on Borderline Personality Disorder but it is easy to see similarities with other personality disorders. I have found this book really useful but I am lucky in that Richard acknowledges his personality disorder. You may want to consider whether or not to share this book with the person who has a personality disorder depending on their ability to acknowledge it. It is not suitable to use the tool to aid your own diagnosis, this can only be undertaken by a qualified physician.
