Borderline Personality Disorder

Monday, July 02, 2007

On today's show: the history of western involvement in Iraq, from Churchill to Kennedy to George W. Bush. Also, the latest novel from Martin Amis. Then we'll find out why many women have a complex relationship with their finances. Plus: all about Borderline Personality Disorder. More Americans suffer from BPD than either bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, but few know much about it.


The West in Iraq

The West has a long history of complicity in Iraq, from Churchill to Kennedy to George W. Bush. In his recent book, Web of Deceit, Barry Lando looks into how the US helped to create, mislead, and ultimately destroy Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Mr. Lando is a former investigative journalist for 60 Minutes.

Web of Deceit is available for purchase at amazon.com


Martin Amis on the Gulags

Martin Amis's latest novel, House of Meetings, is narrated by a former gulag prisoner. After many years of being haunted by his experiences there, he returns to tour the gulags in 2004.

House of Meetings is available for purchase at amazon.com


Women, Emotions, and Cash

Liz Perle says that many women she has known have been willing to share their deepest secrets - but still kept mum when it came to their finances. Perle's recent book is Money, a Memoir.

Money, a Memoir is available for purchase at amazon.com


Borderline Personality Disorder

More Americans suffer from borderline personality disorder than either bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, but few know much about it. Leonard talks to Dr. Frank Yeomans, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the Weill Medical College, and Christina Knight, and Kiera Van Gelder, two people recovering from BPD.
