Review
This is a very good book. It is a concise, fact-packed and comprehensive guide to bipolar disorder. I cannot think of another book that covers so much ground in so few pages. Readers seeking more information on a particular topic will find further references at the end of each chapter. Although the book covers the disorder from a medical point of view (the authors are doctors), it does not neglect the patient s perspective, and it devotes some space to the role of the family or other care-givers in treatment and recovery. The chapter on enhanced care is particularly valuable where the recovery process is described in terms of an iterative and cooperative process involving evaluation, insight, education and learning on the part of patient, physician and family working together. It would have been nice if some space could have been found to detail the more common behaviors that disturb family members, such as anger or fear directed at loved ones, abusiveness, impulsiveness and unreliability. Nonetheless, this is an excellent book that provides an outstanding introduction to bipolar disorder. --BiPolar Significant others website.
