Monica Ramirez Basco, PhD, a clinical psychologist, is Associate
Director for Science Policy, Planning, and Analysis at the Office
of Research on Women’s Health at the National Institutes of Health.
She served as Assistant Director for Neuroscience, Mental Health,
and Broadening Participation at the White House Office of Science
and Technology Policy from 2014 to 2015. Dr. Basco is an
internationally recognized expert in cognitive-behavioral therapy
and a founding fellow of the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral
Therapies. She was formerly on the faculty of the University of
Texas at Arlington, where she was awarded the University of Texas
Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award.
A. John Rush, MD, ABPN, is Professor Emeritus at Duke–National
University of Singapore and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Sciences at Duke University. A former Associate Editor
of both the American Journal of Psychiatryand Biological
Psychiatry, he has received Lifetime Research Awards from the
American Psychiatric Association, the American College of
Psychiatrists, the Society of Biological Psychiatry, the American
Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology, and the National Alliance
on Mental Illness. Dr. Rush’s research has focused on diagnosing,
treating, and clinically managing depressive and bipolar disorders.
He helped to develop cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder and
adolescent depression. His work has led to the development,
evaluation, and implementation of measurement-based care; clinical
practice guidelines; and the recognition and management of
difficult-to-treat depressions.
Since it is now clear that optimal treatment for the majority of
individuals with bipolar disorder requires an approach that
integrates pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, it is reassuring to
see this revised, updated manual for one of the key
psychotherapeutic modalities. As always, Basco and Rush write with
extreme clarity. Readers will benefit from their collective wisdom
about ways to intervene in this challenging disorder.--Ellen Frank,
PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of
Medicine, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic
A thoughtful, readable, and very useful volume. The authors'
coverage of issues of compliance and adherence in therapy is
comprehensive and compelling, providing a sound basis for
preventing relapse. What makes the second edition unique is that
the format allows clinicians to apply recommended treatment
approaches during different phases of the illness, with patients
from the newly diagnosed to those in sustained remission. This book
will serve as a useful resource for graduate students as well as
more experienced clinicians.--Edward Altman, PsyD, Department of
Psychiatry (Retired), University of Illinois at Chicago
The second edition of this definitive work is even more useful than
its predecessor. Focusing on techniques for patients at different
stages of their illness and acceptance, this is a 'must' for all
clinicians treating bipolar disorder. The best psychoeducational
and cognitive-behavioral strategies for helping this population are
described and integrated into a coherent framework. The book is
full of carefully structured charts, case examples, and patient
assignments that will enable clinicians to successfully employ
these critically important treatment principles and
practices.--Robert Morton Post, MD, Biological Psychiatry Branch,
National Institute of Mental Health
Two experts, including John Rush, one of the pioneers in CBT, have
made an excellent book even better....This text is more
user-friendly, and has extensive illustrative case material and
descriptions of strategic (goal-focused) and technical
interventions. The authors take the clinician through the course of
the illness and recommend particular interventions for each stage
or clinical manifestation of bipolar disorder. For the clinician
and teacher of clinical issues, this should be a required
text./m-/Arthur Freeman, EdD, ABPP, Behavioral Science Book Service
Advisory Board Member - A truly practical resource grounded in a
real-world context....A comprehensive guide to the treatment of
bipolar disorder from the CBT framework, and which would serve any
therapist extremely well in a multitude of settings, both
psychological and in more medically oriented multidisciplinary
teams. As a resource for therapists specializing in bipolar
disorder, or for those wondering how to apply their CBT skills to
symptoms of depression and mania, this would be a valuable addition
to any bookshelf. --Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy,
2/14/2007ƒƒ I found this book extremely helpful in adding new
techniques to my therapeutic armamentarium. I recommend it highly
for both the beginning and experienced therapist. --Bulletin of the
Menninger Clinic, 2/14/2007ƒƒ Basco and Rush provide an
easy-to-follow and flexible set of techniques for treatment of
bipolar disorder....For beginning clinicians and practitioners who
prefer to work using a more structured approach, a treatment
protocol is provided in the Appendix....Vignettes are offered
throughout the book to illustrate how to apply the techniques to
different types of patients in different stages of the illness.
