Book cover for The Wild Iris: Winner of the Nobel Prize
Forgive me if I say I love you: the powerful are always lied to since the weak are always driven by panic. I cannot love what I can’t conceive, and you disclose virtually nothing: are you like the hawthorn tree, always the same thing in the ...more

“The borderline’s endless quest is to find a perfect caregiver who will be all-giving and omnipresent. The search often leads to partners with complementary pathology: both lack insight into their mutual destructiveness. For”
Jerold J. Kreisman, I Hate You--Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality

Jerold J. Kreisman
“Unwilling to play the hand that is dealt [to] him, the borderline keeps folding every time, losing his ante, waiting to be dealt four aces. If he cannot be assured of winning, he won't play out the hand. Improvement comes when he learns to accept the hand for what it is, and recognize that, skillfully played, he can still win.”

You may not be able to care much about yourself, and think marriage will end this, and then find yourself in the alarming situation of being married but emotionally unattached. . . .

Such a person may, for example, be engaged to be married to one person and simultaneously be maintaining sexual relationships with two or three others. Anyone who offers admiration and respect has appeal to them—and because their need for affection is so great, their ability to discriminate is severely impaired.21”
