I am grateful for Rosie Cappuccino's 'Talking about BPD,' as I finally have an authentic, stigma-free book to recommend to my DBT clients. A mix of personal experience, research-based information, and skill-building material makes this a must-read for those with BPD plus their loved ones and providers.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Talking About BPD. Anyone who reads the book with an open mind - patient, provider, family member or friend, will likely not think about BPD in the same way as they did before. [A] remarkable and much needed contribution.

This book brings to life, and provides an invaluable insight into, the experiences of the stigma that is encountered when living with Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as approaches for managing BPD.

This is a great book, written by someone who used to struggle to manage their intense emotions, distressing thoughts, impulsive urges, relationship anxieties and overwhelming fears of abandonment, which often left them suicidal. Rosie pays attention to the stigma that surrounds a diagnosis of BPD and how to talk about it in a more self-empowering way. - Human Givens Journal
