What You Will Learn
The Borderline Narcissist Connection examines the complex and frequently confusing overlap between borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. These two disorders share certain surface behaviors while differing fundamentally in their emotional architecture, and understanding the difference matters enormously for anyone in a relationship with someone who carries one or both diagnoses.
This book explains how BPD and NPD interact when they appear in the same person, why relationships with BPD-NPD individuals tend to be especially volatile, and what the research says about treatment and prognosis. It also addresses the experience of being misdiagnosed with BPD when you are actually a trauma survivor.
