Book ID/图书代码： 09700010B37909
English Summary/英文概要： Kiera Van Gelder’s first suicide attempt at the age of twelve marked the onset of her struggles with drug addiction, depression, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and chaotic romantic relationships-all of which eventually led to doctors’ belated diagnosis of borderline personality disorder twenty years later.
The Buddha and the Borderline is a window into this mysterious and debilitating condition, an unblinking portrayal of one woman’s fight against the emotional devastation of borderline personality disorder. This haunting, intimate memoir chronicles both the devastating period that led to Kiera’s eventual diagnosis and her inspirational recovery through therapy, Buddhist spirituality, and a few online dates gone wrong. Kiera’s story sheds light on the private struggle to transform suffering into compassion for herself and others, and is essential reading for all seeking to understand what it truly means to recover and reclaim the desire to live.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者12岁第一次企图自杀标志着她与毒瘾、消极、创伤后遗症、自残、混乱的恋爱等抗争的开始，最终导致了20年后医生病态人格边缘的诊断。本书打开了一扇窗，让我们看到了神秘力量衰弱的状态，看到了一个女人勇敢与疾病作斗争的肖像。本书以自传的形式，按时间顺序记录了作者惨痛的时段以及确诊直至通过理疗、佛教灵修康复的故事。作者把重点放在个人努力将痛苦转化为对自己和他人的同情上，对那些想要理解康复的真正意味以及重温活着的美好的人来说值得一读。(XJJ)
