cover Psychoanalytic writers have tended to focus on identity—or, to be more precise, the lack of a stable identity—as the core of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). But identity and personality are social illusions because they fluctuate over time and situations. The real core of BPD is rage. Rage is not an “identity”; it is simply a raw and primitive form of anger as a response to the fear of emotional or physical abandonment.
 
BPD therefore is not some shameful illness that a person is “born with.” BPD is really just a collection of psychological defenses—all related in some way to rage—that children acquire in childhood as a way to protect themselves from the emotional trauma they experience in their families.
 
Unlike books that advocate the common mode of treatment, this book explains the spiritual dimension of healing the rage.
