[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone recommend some resources for family members of people with Borderline PD? Books? Websites? Are there support groups? [/quote]

"Stop Walking on Eggshells."

"The Essential Family Guide to Borderline"

If this is for a partner or spouse, you will want to look at "I Hate You, Don't Leave Me."

Once you find those on Amazon, you can check out other books people who looked at these also looked at and read the reviews/

There is an organization called TARA that has a website and runs classes, mostly in NYC.  The founder also has a book on BPD; can't quite remember the name right now but it is on her website.

bpdfamily.com has good information and pretty active forums, including ones for family members, that can serve as a virtual support group.  There are different forums for spouses and parents, which is helpful because the needs are different.

There is the Metro DBT Forum of providers for BPD.  (Note:  This is not all inclusive.  There are other providers of DBT training in the DC area.) One of them, Pat Harvey focuses on families.  Not really a support group, but she runs family training sessions that I imagine operate a bit that way.
