This is an excellent book! Its a memoir by someone who is in therapy for BPD! Its really well read, she's really talented! You should also see some of her youtube clips!

It's so good to know there are bpd sufferers out there who do put the work in to their recovery. DBT techniques definitely seem to work and it wasn't so long ago that Marsha Linehan who developed the techniques opened up about her own recovery from bpd.

Here is a link I found about the book you have mentioned http://psychcentral.com/lib/the-buddha-the-borderline/0005209

and a link about Marsha Linehan http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2011/06/27/marsha-linehan-acknowledges-her-own-struggle-with-borderline-personality-disorder/
