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

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of borderline personality disorder in mothers, its effects on their children, and how to prevent and treat it.

The author, Dr.

Christine Ann Lawson, offers a unique examination of four different symptom clusters - the waif mother, hermit mother, queen mother, and witch.

She provides empathic understanding of the borderline mother and early intervention strategies to ground children in reality and counteract the dangerous effects of living with a "make-believe" mother.

The book is written in an accessible and concise manner, making it easy for readers to recognize their mothers and themselves in its pages.

It also offers specific suggestions for creating healthier relationships.

Whether you are an adult child of a borderline parent or a therapist working with them, this book provides valuable insights and practical advice on how to care for the waif without rescuing her, attend to the hermit without feeding her fear, love the queen without becoming her subject, and live with the witch without becoming her victim.
