A Cornerstone Title for any Borderline Literature Library Covers ALL aspects of the condition from etiology, new theories, treatment and pitfalls. Although technical in nature, treaters should have no problem in getting through the material and greatly enhancing their understanding of Borderline Disorders.. Sincerely said Consider the Source. I know that this is an ad hominem blurb . I worked at Maclean Hospital for many years. People's (patients and staff's) response to Gunderson's cruelty is commonplace . He has most recently been portrayed in the book Mount Misery through the character "Heiler." John Gunderson is well known for his arrogance and cruelty by legions of Maclean staff and patients through the years. My condolences to anyone who has endured his company. My advise is to no. "BORDERLINE PERSOLALITY DISORDER" according to misterbargain. What ever any psychiatrist fantansizes,there is no escape from these patients.So,better be prepared.I cannot think of a volume which packs so much useful and practical information,by one of the top experts on the illness.i recommend this book without hestation,to any busy clinician.
