Book Overview

Navigate the challenges of BPD in teens with Dr. Blaise Aguirre's classic guide, now updated with the latest research and guidance for parents.

Borderline Personality Disorder is a startlingly common condition, affecting as many as 3% of people under the age of 18. Characterized by struggles with emotional regulation, self-image, self-worth, mood swings, and impulse control, and often appearing alongside other conditions like anxiety, depression, and substance use, BPD is a condition any parent with an adolescent should be aware of. The good news is that BPD is treatable, and families can find relief with an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

A long-trusted BPD reference, Borderline Personality Disorder in Adolescents offers parents, caregivers, and adolescents a complete understanding of this complex and tough-to-treat disorder. Written by one of the foremost experts in the field, this fully up-to-date and comprehensive guide includes:

  • A thorough explanation of what BPD is that brings into focus what we know, and don't know, about this condition
  • Prognosis and treatment options, including recent advances and an overview of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the most common and effective treatment
  • A deep dive into the development of BPD research
  • Myths and misunderstandings about BPD
  • Tips and strategies for parents, including practical techniques for effective communication with those who have BPD
  • NEW to this edition, a discussion on the intersection of BPD with neurodiversity and gender, as well as the impact of social media


With thoughtful updates and practical tools throughout, the third edition of Borderline Personality Disorder in Adolescents remains an indispensable resource, empowering families to navigate diagnosis, build effective support systems, and foster resilience and hope.
