Resources: blogs, websites, articles and books

NPD information sources

There are dozens of blogs and websites, in addition to numerous facebook information and support pages, devoted to sharing experiences and raising awareness of personality disorders. Many of these were created and are maintained by survivors of abuse within families of origin (FOO) and personal relationships, and have helped me enormously in my recovery process. I extend my utmost gratitude and admiration to these people, in particular the authors of the following blogspot blogs, which are on my essential reading list:
