Introducing a breakthrough, integrative approach to managing your borderline personality disorder (BPD).

If you’ve been diagnosed with BPD you may feel a number of emotions—including shock, shame, sadness, abandonment, emptiness, or even anger. Even worse, you may be tempted to research your diagnosis online, only to find doomsday scenarios and terrible prognoses everywhere you click. Take a deep breath. You can get through this—and this workbook will help guide you.

Despite what you may have read or been told, BPD is not the worst thing that can happen to you. Like many mental health issues, it manifests on a spectrum, and while some people may encounter extreme symptoms and consequences on one end, others may be less affected on the other. What do you all have in common? You likely experience difficulty balancing your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. And you may even have trouble seeing yourself clearly—continuously switching from the hero to the villain of the story you’ve written about your life. So, how can you make sense of it all and start on the road to healing?

Rather than utilizing a one-size-fits-all treatment, this groundbreaking and comprehensive workbook meets you where you are on your therapeutic journey, and provides an integrative approach to treating BPD drawing on evidence-based dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and interpersonal therapy. With this compassionate workbook, you’ll gain a greater understanding of your BPD, uncover your own emotional triggers, and discover your own personal motivators for positive change.

Your BPD has determined how you see and live your life, but it doesn’t have to define you forever. With this workbook as your guide, you’ll be ready to face your diagnosis head-on, and take those important first steps toward lasting wellness.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook by Daniel Fox is a user-friendly, systematic, and pragmatic set of tools designed to help clients with borderline personality symptoms identify and work toward change through a variety of multidimensional activities and exercises. Supplemented by extensive online content, the positive approach of this workbook is sure to inspire hope for the most discouraged of clients.”
—Sherry Cormier, PhD, professor emerita in the department of counseling and counseling psychology at West Virginia University, author of Counseling Strategies and Interventions for Professional Helpers and Sweet Sorrow, and coauthor of Interviewing and Change Strategies for Helpers

“Daniel Fox has bridged the gap between the classic understanding and contemporary application of the authoritative findings concerning personality pathology. In his latest book, Fox has unraveled the dual construct of personality development toward more accurate identification and effective intervention—now and for future generations. The inclusion of the information addressing online behavioral expression is timely and crucial for a culture driven by social media. Online users have practical tools to alert them to unsuspected predators, and/or dating prospects who may have underlying personality pathology. The academic, mental health, and social communities will be forever indebted to Fox.”
—Verdi Rountree Lethermon, PhD, retired director of the Houston Police Department’s psychological services division, previous adjunct professor at the University of St. Thomas and Houston Baptist University, and private practice clinician

“Daniel Fox won’t let you off easy. The Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook is truly a book that expects you to WORK! If you think you might have some symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD), and are willing to address these problems, and, most of all, are truly committed to working hard at fixing them, this is the book you need.”
—Jerold J. Kreisman, MD, author of Talking to a Loved One with Borderline Personality Disorder, and coauthor of I Hate You - Don’t Leave Me

“When working with clients who present with personality disorders, it is sometimes difficult for our clients to grasp the concept of a personality disorder, and even more difficult for them to acquire, execute, and maintain the skills necessary to successfully navigate their everyday lives. As a psychologist and mental health professional, I am always seeking better and more efficient resources that assist my clients on their journey in therapy, as well as providing some structure when developing treatment plans. Well, I hit the jackpot with this resource! Fox has done a marvelous job creating a resource that really helps to better facilitate this work! This workbook is user friendly and can either be used while someone is currently in treatment with a mental health professional, or independently attempting to improve their lives. This workbook does an excellent job breaking down the who, what, when, where, and how of navigating the diagnosis of BPD, and will definitely be an excellent addition to my referral resources for both clinicians and patients!”
—Meagan N. Houston, PhD, licensed psychologist; owner of Houston Behavioral Health, PLLC; police psychologist for the Houston Police Department located in Houston, TX; and author of Treating Suicidal Clients and Self-Harm Behaviors

“Fox has created an outstanding, comprehensive workbook for individuals suffering from BPD that is both accessible and inviting. It provides a straightforward approach to developing the skills and understanding needed to overcome this painful and emotionally crippling disorder. If you suffer from BPD, this book offers you a clear path toward creating stable and meaningful relationships, developing a compassionate and clearer understanding of yourself, and shedding your feelings of being alone and hopeless. This book will make lives better!”
—Russ Wood, PhD, founder and director of Clear Fork Psychology Services; has treated individuals suffering from BPD and other personality disorders since the 1980s

“Fox has written a superb book that helps both people with borderline personality and the therapists who work with this disorder. In this workbook, Fox lucidly integrates evidence-based techniques and tools to help with thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships—treating those with borderline personality as whole people who can achieve and maintain success and recovery. Fox’s work is a must-have for those who want to understand, treat, and recover from borderline personality. Enthusiastically recommended!”
—Lane Pederson, PsyD, author of The Expanded Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training Manual, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and DBT Skills Training for Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment Settings

“Daniel Fox has taken his extensive knowledge of this challenging clinical population and has synthesized the literature with his own therapeutic experience and style. The Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook challenges the individual with this disorder to change through a series of self-examination exercises of one’s beliefs and behaviors, and why these behaviors are maintained. Through a systematic process of exploring what BPD is, to understanding the nature of the problem and acting on what has been learned, the person with BPD is guided to conquering their conflicts and building and eventually maintaining a new self. The workbook may also be used by mental health professionals working with persons with the challenge of BPD.”
—Roy H. Tunick, EdD, licensed psychologist in West Virginia; past president of the West Virginia Psychological Association (WVPA); and professor emeritus in the department of counseling, rehabilitation counseling, and counseling psychology at West Virginia University

No one's BPD is identical to anyone else's

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am a huge fan of Dr. Daniel Fox on You Tube because his videos are not only very informative (backed up by research) but he is one of the few 'You Tubers' (if not the only one) to really go in depth WITHOUT judgement in what BPD really is. He has such a soothing, calming voice that his videos have given me so much more understanding and was ecstatic to find out he was releasing this workbook! I pre-ordered it and received it the day it was released since then I cannot put it down and recommend it on a Facebook group. This workbook is like a journal I always look forward coming home from work to dedicate time answering the exercises. It has given me the opportunity to self-reflect in my own journey with this illness. I love that he mentions how BPD is a spectrum disorder because it really IS. I have read other bpd books at Barnes and Noble in the past and I could not get myself in purchasing them because I felt like the author did not understand me and put everyone in a box. However, Dr. Daniel fox breaks it down really well that "not everyone with BPD is identical to everyone elses", this is true since I confessed to some I identified myself with BPD even though I have never been disgnosed. Most said, "no way you are way too sweet" or "you are just hormonal" and that maybe all true but I do not display BPD symptoms with everyone in my life ONLY with my 'FP' and those that I am emotionally attached to which are my family. I have yet to complete all of it but thus far I am loving it!

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019

This book is changing my life, it's very easy to get depressed when you can't control your emotions. And it manifests itself as BPD and continues ruining your relationships and life. This book gives you control over your life back with methods that calm you down, understanding of why you behave in certain ways and is so compassionate to you. Whether you have BPD or not just if you have Borderline tendencies or someone you love you suspect of being borderline I highly recommend this book. Thank you Dr Daniel J Fox as you have given me the tools to regain my life.

A must for your loved one diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

I ordered this workbook for my son who is currently incarcerated. He is 21 and has been battling this disordered for quite sometime. My son has found hope in this workbook. He is having many awe moments. When he calls me he loves dissussing things he is coming to realize and understand about many of his emotions, thoughts and behaviors. He has thought himself to be a horrible person and now he is starting to see himself in a new light. He is realizing this disorder does not define who he is. He is realizing this disorder can be treated and he can have a much better life. Thank you Dr Fox

Ps Dr Fox's utube videos have been extremely helpful in understanding my son who has Borderline Personality Disorder

BPD diagnosis? Feeling alone and lost? Buy this book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

This book changed my life. This book made me realize that I am not a horrible person. I am a person with a mental illness that feels horrible but can be defeated. The man who wrote the borderline personality disorder workbook is also on YouTube and that is where I discovered his compassionate approach to BPD.

I struggle financially so I thought it over for a while before buying this workbook. I never should have waited.

What is $16 compared to recovering from a crippling disorder and actually achieving happiness? This book is worth a million dollars to me.

Are you struggling with a BPD diagnosis? BUY THIS BOOK.

This Workbook is Outstanding - and That's Not Just my BPD Idealization Talking ;)

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

First, thank you Dr. Fox. You have helped me work with my therapy team to find a diagnosis that fits because watching your videos on YouTube encouraged me to be honest with myself and my doctors without fear of stigma and failure. Your compassion and belief that people with BPD/people on the BPD spectrum can seek treatment to effectively work toward remission and reduction in symptoms felt singular when researching BPD.

Now for my fellow BPD'ers/potential BPD'ers/BPD Spectrum folks out there: This workbook SUCKS. It's also the best thing that has happened to my therapy journey. Anytime you want to put this book down, it's like Dr. Fox sees the future - there is almost always a moment when I want to chuck it across the room and then there's a sentence that reads, "I know you want to chuck this book across the room right now. Changing thoughts is HARD, but you've got this." Or "You did a hard thing, you should definitely eat a piece of cheesecake." I'm paraphrasing, but it is UNCANNY that he knows when you're going to start ramping up and puts a word of encouragement in the chapter. Like, guys, THIS WORKBOOK WILL NOT ABANDON YOU AND WILL ENCOURAGE YOU TO EAT CAKE.

This book will also make you feel ALL KINDS OF WAYS. It'll make you write down stuff that is HARD and EMBARRASSING and FRUSTRATING. It might trigger an episode. It might trigger five episodes. Dr. Fox legit knows this, because therapy is HARD. There are breaks built into the book and he repeatedly reassures you that you are totally, completely, 100% okay to put the book down and walk away and use a coping strategy and come back when you're ready. But, here's the rub: If you keep doing the work, especially if you're taking it to therapy with you, you read back the stuff you wrote down that was hard and embarrassing and frustrating and you start gaining CLARITY and INSIGHT and TOOLS to manage your emotions. As you learn more about yourself, you gain knowledge and skills to challenge false beliefs, recognize triggers, categorize feelings and relationships, and build strategies that will legit set a course for better days with fewer episodes. Those moments of recognition and discovery are called "breakthroughs" I guess, but they legit feel like a veil lifting and it's squirrely feeling knowing that our brains are super great at hiding things about ourselves as a protective mechanism.

I'm not 100% better. I'm not even 100% done with my workbook, but I feel like I now have the words and the homework to effectively communicate with my therapist. That is priceless.

Buy the book. Watch Dr. Fox's YouTube channel.

p.s. I haven't devalued this book and I've been using it for four months. ;)

Great for people with cPTSD too.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2019

I have complex post traumatic stress disorder as opposed to borderline personality, but many of the symptoms overlap. I had been following Dr Fox's excellent youtube videos for a while, so I was looking forward to this book. I only have it a few days, but already I am finding it really helpful.

It is a work book so there are plenty of practical exercises, which are really useful. Everything is explained really clearly and empathically. There is also a really helpful summary and 'what did you learn' at the end of each chapter.

I am so grateful to have a resource like this. Thank you Dr Fox.

I don’t usually write reviews but this is important to say so I can help others in similar situations. This book is AMAZING!! Im only on chapter 3 and I’m learning sooo much more about my BPD symptoms. It’s like having therapy with yourself, it can be overwhelming when doing filling out the questions because it’s not easy writing about what you think of yourself (for me it isn’t) but it’s really helpful!! Highly recommend and I can’t wait to finish it. I hope this help you :)

Didn’t Expect It To Work! 🖤

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

I’ve always been very skeptical with self-help books, especially when they’re touching on mental health issues. I’d be lying if I said I went into reading this workbook with an open mind.

However.

I am now on Part 2 of the book and the author has really opened my mind. I always thought I’d be stuck with my BPD forever, stuck with these horrible feelings and responses to normal situations. This author helped me realise this is not the case, and that even though BPD is a lot more complex than I once thought, it’s very treatable and you can overcome it.

I would massively recommend this to anyone, and no I’m not getting paid for this review haha. I’m about to purchase his second BPD book; the complex BPD workbook.
