Faultfinders: The Impact of Borderline Personality Disorder illuminates one of the most devastating and least understood mental illnesses affecting about six percent of the population. Studies indicate that typically each person with this disorder adversely affects the lives of five others; this means up to thirty-six percent of the people have the disease or are suffering from some of its injurious ramifications. Faultfinders is a fascinating journey into the lives of people suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Using over twenty compelling examples of famous actors, actresses, musicians, sports stars, leaders of countries, infamous criminals, and ordinary people, Dr. Osterloh makes the disease understandable. He helps us see how BPD explains the personalities, achievements and destructive actions of Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, Mary Todd Lincoln, Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, Jeffrey Dahmer (the American cannibal), and many others. Readers will be better prepared to identify, deal with, and help those they know who might have the disorder.
