Clinical Manual for Management of Bipolar Disorder in Children
and Adolescents was written in response to the growing body of
knowledge surrounding pediatric bipolar illness and the underlying
biological, environmental, and psychosocial influences that
exacerbate symptoms and behavior. Written to provide clinically
useful information about diagnosis and management, this manual is a
comprehensive collection of empirical evidence, case studies, and
the growing number of evidence-based reports on pediatric bipolar
disorder over the past five years.
This manual also contains several chapters provided by Dr. Mary
Fristad and her team at The Ohio State University -- experts in
family and psychosocial aspects of pediatric bipolar disorder. Her
contributions, along with vast clinical evidence and the expertise
provided by Drs. Kowatch, Findling, and Post, help paint an
accurate picture of everything from age onset to the effectiveness
of various therapies. In this manual, clinicians can refer to the
following tools: - A clinical description of childhood and
adolescent bipolar disorder - Management strategies for the patient
including daily mood charting- Current medication strategies and
tactics- Ways to help patients through the educational system-
Resources for clinicians, parents and patients- A review of the
future directions for childhood and adolescent bipolar disorder
The many new developments in the field of pediatric bipolar
disorder are affirming what this manual emphasizes -- that a
combination of family and cognitive-behavior therapy can work in
tandem with medical treatments to help young bipolar disorder
patients achieve a more balanced life and a greater chance of
controlling this illness later in life. The manual demonstrates how
the medical community has shifted from asking, "Does bipolar
disorder really exist in children and adolescents" to "How can we
best predict, diagnose and treat this serious medical disorder"
through a review of 25 years of study and insight.
