********************
 
Some useful links:
 
(a * indicates a new link added this month)

The Borderline Personality Disorder Research Center Part of the University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell.

The Personality Disorders Institute For both the general public and mental health professionals.

The Behavioral Technology Transfer Group (BTTG) - Formerly the Linehan Training Group. DBT basics, DBT literature, other links, behavior therapy sites, and mindfulness sites. This site also maintains a list of DBT teams and programs around the country.

Peacehealth BPD page - A general BPD information page.

Biz - A personal story page about BPD with an added section on Histrionic PD.

A Haven from Borderline Personality Disorder - This looks like an excellent site for someone with BPD.

BPD Recovery - a site that focuses on recovering from Borderline Personality Disorder.

A link to a BPD links page - They just added me to their links.

BPDWORLD - committed to raising awareness & reducing the stigma of mental health, by focusing on borderline personality disorder (BPD). We will do this by providing information, advice & support.

Archives of DBT SKILLS - DBT Skills Discussion Group at DG@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU

Borderlines for Christ - This site provides Christian counselling and practical advice for those who suffer from BPD and loved ones in a BPD relationship. I participate here as a non-professional helper for BPD supporters.

Borderline Reality - An MSN site specifically for people coping with BPD and includes co-morbid personality and affective disorders. Addresses cutting and other common behaviors.

4therapy.com - An important site that answers the 5 W's about therapy better than any place I have found on the net.

Laura Paxton's Site - An inspiration to recovery. Laura practices and teaches Toltec spirituality for healing and knows what she's talking about.

Don Miguel Ruiz - Author of "The Four Agreements", a popular self-help book using Toltec spirituality.

Self Injury Support - A non-triggering site that offers positive and productive self-injury support providing alternatives to self-injury, referrals, support groups, affirmations and interactive opportunities.

Kristen's Place - A Christian's view of BPD and recovery. I highly recommend this site for anyone seeking a spiritual answer.

Kathi Stringer's Site - Kathi has a very comprehensive site. She is a prolific BPD writer and expert in the field. I like her article "The Non Delemma". It speaks to what I've seen in some non sites.

Borderline Personality Disorder - From the Inside Out. By A.J. Mahari. This site provides an insightful understanding about BPD from a recovered borderline's point of view and the accompanying behaviour and difficult challenges for both the person diagnosed with BPD and those around him/her.

The Shack - Australia-based site that provides support and information for all involved with BPD to express their opinions, feelings, concerns and experiences. A very positive site.

Psychcentral.com - A comprehensive resource site for mental health issues.

BPD Central - (see below before clicking on this link) This is a site for "Non's". A non is a person in a relationship with a borderline, whether a spouse, relative, or friend. I recommend it for those seeking to get out of a relationship, recently out of one, or in an unchosen relationship with a Borderline.

A warning about BPDCentral - It may not be the place for you if you are in a chosen, committed relationship with a borderline person in recovery.  It is a great place if you are recovering from a failed relationship, in an unchosen relationship, or looking for a way out and seeking validation.   You will find a lot of support there for your situation. 

BPD Resources - Helen's site is an excellent resource.

Hearts that Hear - a Delphiforums site. If you have been diagnosed BPD, Bipolar, or pretty much any affective or personality disorder or suspect you may have a disorder this is a fantastic place to find others to talk to and a super resource site for self-help.

Horses, Life, and Emotional Support - Another Delphiforums site. This site is run by a very wise and experienced woman named Barb. She gives excellent life advice and support. I hang here often.

Mental Health Today - Patty's site for mental disorder resources.

TARA - Another alternative site. They give several different classes on mental disorders and coping. Haven't attended one so I can't vouch for the classes personally.

National Institute of Mental Health BPD page.

BPD Sanctuary - Hosted by : Michael J. Formica, EDM, NCC, LPC, DCFC with Paul Markovitz M.D., Ph.D. and Paul Mason M.S., C.P.C (co-author of "Stop Walking on Eggshells"). Dr Formica is an experienced therapist on BPD. The sight is sponsored by an SSRI/SNRI drug distributer.

National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder - Mission Statement:To raise public awareness, provide education, promote research on borderline personality disorder, and enhance the quality of life of those affected by this serious mental illness.
