question:
Potentially Damaging and NOT Recommended . I have no doubt the author is well intentioned and may in fact have had some good results with the exercises outlined. HOWEVER, in my years of working with borderlines in clinical settings I think many of the exercises are unnecessary and potentially damaging. Many of the people with BPD I have worked with have astonishingly traumatic abuse histories and to explore self-history without the tools necessary to contain the potentially explosive and RE-traumatizing emotions is foolish and even hurtful. Furthermore, the author's assertion that the client be able to say that they want to use HIS text in therapy and the recommendation that if the therapist objects that the client move on to another therapist is TOTALLY misguided and naive. I very much agree that it is important for clients to be able to guide their own work, but I am also highly aware of the ways people with BPD can split different providers. There are just too many GENUINELY therapeutic reasons to approach the author's recommendations with caution to allow what he says to interrupt what may very well be extraordinary work between a therapist and client. I STRONGLY SUGGEST PEOPLE LOOK ELSEWHERE, perhaps to the work of Linehan for more appropriate and helpful interventions. If I could have, I would have given this book no stars

POS

question:
Of Two Minds, Again . The story is quite clunky and contrived, and yet, I still can't help but feel some affection for it, as, despite my opinions of Mr. Roeder's talents, he clearly feels deeply for his characters, and their none-to-realistic world. The good things are here--while the characters are cardboard cut-outs, and the fact that the two couples are essentially dopplegangers, their plight is still quite a bit involving. My negatives, though, really spring from the way the plot unfolds--far too quickly and far too coincidental. I know that the chamber of horrors at the "mental hospital" is not far removed from reality, but for a lot of the story, the amazing circumstances that abound in the novel are a bit too much to bear. And I can't quite parse the way Mr. Roeder attempts to ground his characters in a realistic setting, and then throws on paranormal experiences. As escapist literature, I've read worse, but for something that seems to be striving towards realism, I just don't know
answer:
NEG
