This highly practical and accessible manual presents in
step-by-step detail useful cognitive-behavioral techniques for
managing bipolar disorder. Designed to enhance - not replace -
pharmacotherapy, the treatment modality described emphasizes the
importance of educating patients and engaging them as active
participants in the therapeutic process. The book provides a
conceptual framework for the approach along with explicit
instructions for tailoring treatment to each patient's specific
needs. It clearly illustrates how to equip clients with a range of
practical skills for anticipating, preventing, and ameliorating the
symptoms of depression, mania, and hypomania. Organized in
sequential order, each chapter of the book builds on the principles
discussed in earlier chapters and offers session-by-session
instructions for implementing the treatment. Drawing on their vast
clinical experience and the latest research, the authors discuss
general therapeutic issues and symptom management throughout.
Suggested homework assignments and forms for executing
interventions are included for optimal clinical utility. The manual
first describes the benefits of using an integrated approach to
treating bipolar disorder. A succinct overview then discusses the
disorder's diagnosis, course, and characteristics. Common
psychopharmacological approaches are reviewed, as are methods for
enhancing medication compliance and specific interventions for
dealing with both cognitive and behavioral symptoms. To address
psychosocial stressors, the authors devote two chapters to methods
for facilitating communication and solving problems encountered in
daily life. The book concludes with clinical vignettes that
clearlydemonstrate the principles and techniques described.
