Roberts, WI Author Publishes Psychological Book

By: PR Leap
(PRLeap.com) "Am I More Than You Bargained for Yet?", a new book by Alexander McLeod, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Moving beyond clinical jargon, McLeod draws on his background as a former juvenile corrections officer to provide an unsettling yet empathetic window into the chaotic reality of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Unlike standard psychological texts that categorize symptoms in isolation, McLeod utilizes a unique blend of fiction and clinical psychology to track the developmental evolution of BPD across a lifespan. The book challenges the industry's tendency to let a diagnosis overshadow the complex, multifaceted lives of those living with emotional dysregulation.

When BPD is the focus, the negative realities often take precedence due to clinical necessity. His goal is to ensure the person remains seen, even in their darkest and most complicated moments.

Key Features of the Book Include:
  • Life-Course Portrayals: A deep dive into how BPD symptoms shift and take shape from youth through adulthood.

  • Hybrid Storytelling: A narrative approach that combines raw, fictionalized client experiences with professional clinical insight.

  • Counter-Cultural Perspective: Insight from a therapist who identifies as "violently mindful," blending a punk-rock ethos with compassionate accountability.
