'If you are looking for a book that gives you the way to understand
and treat bipolar II then Dr Parker's regimen may well be what you
are looking for. … The quality and experience of the people giving
advice and care to those with bipolar II is a vital issue,
particularly at this time when a nice recipe book is not available.
Dr Parker clearly demonstrates that he is in touch with this vital
issue.' Psychological Medicine
'The book provides a very good overview about what we know about
bipolar II disorder and does not hesitate to make it clear to the
reader and to discuss that most what we think we know about this
disorder is based on what we know about bipolar I disorder. … I
truly think that this book is a helpful resource for clinicians and
provides a well-written introduction into bipolar II disorder for
researchers from different points of view.' Journal of
Psychosomatic Research
'… provides a wealth of data and informed opinion. Any clinician
with bipolar II patients may want to consult this comprehensive
volume when faced with a challenging bipolar II patient.' Journal
of Clinical Psychiatry
'… there is much in it of interest to health professionals.'
Journal of Mental Health
'… a pleasure to read and review … my opinion in many areas has
shifted and I feel armed with a better tool to take to the
consulting room to help my patients, their families and myself
tackle the task of treatment and recovery. … the lucidity of the
work makes it suitable for both trainees and experts alike. The
interested consumer or carer will also find it beneficial and its
language is largely approachable. I can recommend it to my
colleagues and affirm that it now has a place on my shelf of valued
references.' Australasian Psychiatry
'… rich, quirky, wonderful … The combination of being the first
publication out of the gate on this important area together with
its quality, diversity and depth make this required reading for all
clinicians and those patients and significant others thirsty for
knowledge of this bipolar subtype. For this group, here's the
bottom line: read this book!'
