About the Course

Whether unfamiliar or familiar with some of the concepts involved in this material, you can benefit from information in this course. For the millions of adults who suffer from borderline personality disorder, life is a self-destructive cycle of impulsive, often addictive behavior that keeps them trapped in a zone of mental agony. This unique guide combines professional expertise with the words and experiences of Samuel, a young man who struggles to stay on the path of his own healing journey. Offering poignant and often painful insights into how borderline and addictive behaviors come about, each chapter includes challenging recovery exercises designed to provide the skills and emotional support needed to change.

This course is based on the book, The Angry Heart: Overcoming Borderline and Addictive Disorders created by Joseph Santoro, Ph.D., & Ronald Cohen, Ph.D.
