An extensively updated new edition of the acclaimed guide to treatment of bipolar disorder, incorporating the latest research on psychosocial treatments and clear medication management guidelines.

This extensively updated new edition of the acclaimed book in the Advances in Psychotherapy series integrates empirical research from the last 10 years to provide clear and up-to-date guidance on the assessment and effective treatment of bipolar disorder. The expert authors, a team of psychotherapists, medical practitioners, and researchers, begin by describing the main features of bipolar disorder based on DSM- 5 and ICD-10 criteria. Current theories and medication management guidelines are described, along with decision trees for evaluating the best treatment options. They then outline a systematic, integrated, and empirically supported treatment approach involving structured, directive therapy. Special considerations, including managing suicide risk, substance misuse, and medication nonadherence, are also addressed.

This compact, stand-alone resource aims to help psychotherapists, psychologists, medical and psychiatric practitioners, and nurses deliver the highest standards of care for people with bipolar disorder.

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, in Medical Psychotherapy Review, vol. 25, 2018

From the Inside Flap

This compact volume gives a wonderful overview of cognitive-behavioral and psychoeducational treatments for patients with bipolar disorder, along with clear guidance on pharmacotherapeutic interventions. Readers will appreciate the emphasis on clinical technique. This book will be very useful to both practitioners beginning to work with people with bipolar disorder and more seasoned professionals who wish to update their knowledge base. David J. Miklowitz, PhD, Director, Child and Adolescent Mood Disorders Program, Director, Integrative Study Center in Mood Disorders, UCLA Semel Institute, Los Angeles, CA; author of The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide (2nd ed.)
