   Book Review

From Book News, Inc.
When a mother has borderline personality disorder, her children live in a profoundly confusing world; the child may even develop the disorder as a result. Writing in accessible language directed at adult children of borderlines as well as therapists, Lawson (a clinical social worker in private practice) divides the mothers who suffer this disorder into four types--the waif, the hermit, the queen, and the witch--and describes the world they create for their children. Subsequent chapters provide recommendations for how to interact with each type without giving in to their world.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR




Understanding the Borderline Mother: Helping Her Children Transcend the Intense, Unpredictable, and Volatile Relationship

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Some readers may recognize their mothers as well as themselves in this book. They will also find specific suggestions for creating healthier relationships. Addressing the adult children of borderlines and the therapists who work with them, Dr. Lawson shows how to care for the waif without rescuing her, to attend to the hermit without feeding her fear, to love the queen without becoming her subject, and to live with the witch without becoming her victim.
