Coles Am I More Than You Bargained for Yet?: The Psychology and Development of Borderline Personality Disorder at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Am I More Than You Bargained For Yet? is not your typical psychology book. Blending raw storytelling with clinical insight, therapist Alexander McLeod brings readers inside the emotional chaos, vulnerability, and complexity of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Written by a former juvenile corrections officer turned therapist, the book offers a rare window into the inner world of emotional dysregulation, trauma, and identity disturbance.
Where many books on BPD focus on individualized symptom descriptions, Alexander McLeod brings a unique empathy and realism to his varying portrayals of clients over their developmental life course. Blending fiction and psychology, this book gives readers an intimate and often unsettling look into how the disorder can take shape and evolve over time. His belief is that when clients are identified as having BPD, the negative realities of the disorder are acknowledged and often take precedence out of clinical necessity but tend to overshadow the full and complicated life experience of the individual person.
