This unique book is needed because it aims to improve the care of
Bipolar clients while strengthening the clinical practices of
non-MD psychotherapists. What is different is the proposal that
psychotherapists manage the overall care of Bipolar clients.Â
 The increased number of publications about Bipolar over the
past decades has enhanced the recognition of Bipolar. As many as 16
million individuals in the US may have a Bipolar episode at some
point. Psychiatrists have traditionally managed Bipolar clients but
there are not enough psychiatrists and they generally spend only 10
to 15 minutes every one to six months with their clients—often
not enough time to recognize oncoming Bipolar episodes. Therapeutic
strategy has changed from treating acute episodes to postponing
next episodes. Psychotherapists see their clients for 50
minutes every week and are in a better position to recognize
developing episodes. Psychotherapists do not prescribe and
medicines are usually needed along with psychotherapy for best
results. This book encourages psychotherapists to vet and
collaborate with prescribers in caring for the therapists’
Bipolar clients. Lacking in the psychotherapists’ armamentarium
for treating Bipolar clients is education regarding diagnostic
signs, symptoms, and treatment including the most productive
medications. This book provides therapists and clients the needed
information and encourages academic departments and other
psychotherapy programs to institute training about Bipolar
Disorders.Â
