"This comprehensive presentation on all aspects of bipolar disorder
is certainly a landmark. Authorities in each of the domains provide
detailed descriptions of diagnostic and assessment issues, ways to
integrate psychosocial and pharmacological treatments, and
approaches to such specific problem areas as noncompliance and
suicidality. This volume is a 'must read' for all professionals
charged with diagnosing and/or treating patients with bipolar
disorder."--Aaron T. Beck, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University
of Pennsylvania School of Medicine "During the past 10 years it has
become increasingly clear that, for many sufferers, bipolar
affective disorder is a chronic and disabling illness whose
devastating impact on quality of life approaches that of
schizophrenia. For these patients, treatment plans limited to
medical management are often inadequate and fail to address
critical psychosocial processes that can either promote or
interfere with recovery. This excellent volume brings together in
one concise source the psychosocial therapies that have been
developed for use with this population. The psychoeducational,
cognitive, behavioral, family, and interpersonal approaches
described herein represent the state of the art in evidence-based
psychotherapies that can complement, not detract from, the effects
of pharmacotherapy for bipolar illness."--Michael Thase, MD,
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center "This is an up-to-date,
outstanding, and comprehensive book on psychological treatments for
bipolar disorder. All of the contributors are experts in the field
and they have been generous in sharing their knowledge. A broad
range of topics are covered, from defining and diagnosing the
disorder to implementing a variety of different treatments.
Appendices contain useful scales and recommended books for
consumers and their families. Mental health professionals and
students across the mental health disciplines will find this book
an invaluable source of information, and it is a 'must have' for
medical and academic libraries."--Dominic Lam, PhD, Department of
Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, UK
