About this title

Review:

"Patients with bipolar disorder often do not receive evidence-based treatments. The mainstay of treatment has been almost exclusively pharmacotherapy. However, there is empirical research over the past 10 years that shows [the] effectiveness of psychosocial treatments in bipolar disorder. Unfortunately, this has not been translated to the bedside or office setting. This [book] provides a comprehensive evidence-based approach to providing a supplemental psychosocial treatment program to these patients. Written and edited by nationally recognized clinician-researchers in the field, this is a welcome addition to the psychiatric literature.";Michael Joel Schrift, DO, MA, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in Doody's Book Reviews, April 2017 ; "I would recommend [this book] to all psychotherapists and any health professional that treats bipolar patients. ; The book is divided into 4 main sections. The fourth and last section is "Treatment," which I found the most useful. ; [M]ost helpful is the Appendix at the end of this book. I really appreciate practical, helpful forms, and I find that Bipolar Disorder provides them."; Vivian Chow, MD, Private Practice, Toronto, ON, Canada, in Medical Psychotherapy Review, vol. 25, 2018
