#68: How to Succeed in Negotiation with Difficult People; Borderline Personality Disorder with Dr Mary Medeiros

We're thrilled to have Dr Mary Medeiros, licensed clinical psychologist and professor of psychology in the lab again!

Last time Dr Medeiros was here we talked all about narcissism (catch that episode here) and negotiation. Today we're talking about how to work with folks experiencing Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) for a successful negotiation.

Dr Medeiros walks us through what a true diagnosis of BPD requires, and four tools to use when you're at the table with someone exhibiting characteristic behaviors of BPD.

For further reading, Dr. Medeiros recommends:
