Borderline verstehen lernenDie Diagnose Borderline klingt erschreckend und überwältigt die Betroffenen mit einer Vielzahl an Emotionen: einerseits Erleichterung, weil sie jetzt einen Namen und eine Ursache für ihr "Anderssein" haben, andererseits Angst und Ratlosigkeit, weil sie (noch) nicht wissen, wie sie damit umgehen sollen. Alexander Chapman und Kim Gratz unterstützen Menschen mit Borderline besonders dann, wenn sie es am nötigsten brauchen: direkt nach der Diagnose. Einfühlsam und leicht verständlich erläutern sie, welche ärztlichen Informationen und Untersuchungen wichtig sind, wie mit starken Emotionen umgegangen werden kann, welche wirksamen Behandlungsmethoden es gibt und wie man sich selbst den Alltag erleichtern und Hilfe von anderen bekommen kann.
