The author has been able to weave together stories, vignettes and case reports that illustrate what it is like to have, or live with someone who has, a mood disorder. It is important to know that we can all learn from individuals that have the lived experience, and this book captures and illustrates their lives successfully.’—Peter C.

Bipolar Disorder: A Family-Focused Treatment Approach $4.03 The introduction of lithium in the early 1970s brought enormous relief to the suffering of bipolar patients and their families. Decades later, however, the illness continues to take a painful and pervasive toll: even patients receiving optimal medication are likely to endure multiple recurrences and to have trouble holding jobs and maintaining relationships. This cogent and practical manual by David J. Miklowitz and Michael J. Goldstein presents a complete 9-month outpatient program designed to help patients and families understand, accept, and manage the effects of bipolar disorder. The book builds upon both the late Dr. Goldstein’s pioneering work with the families of schizophrenia patients and Dr. Miklowitz’s extension of this work to bipolar disorder. Aimed to improve family functioning, facilitate patient willingness to follow a medication regimen, and reduce the risk and severity of relapse, this unique psychoeducational treatment approach maximizes limited time and resources and can be readily incorporated in a range of clinical settings. The book first reviews the research basis for family-focused psychoeducational treatment (FFT) and illuminates the interactive effects of family stress, life stress, and biological predisposition on recurrences of bipolar disorder. Chapters then present a clear and comprehensive framework for conducting FFT, from assessment, education, and communication and problem-solving training sessions, to crisis management and termination. Aided by numerous clinical case examples and session vignettes, clinicians learn to educate patients and family members about bipolar disorder and to address their core concerns in coming to terms with it. Specifically, the program helps families: Accept the existence of a major psychiatric disorder in a loved one. Accept the notion of vulnerability to future episodes. Work through emotional resistances to pharmacotherapy. Distinguish between the patient’s personality and his or her disorder. Recognize and cope with stressors that may trigger the onset of episodes. Enhance family relationships with new communication and problem solving skills. Based on extensive research and clinical experience, this authoritative guide is an invaluable tool for therapists from any background – including psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage and family therapists, social workers, counselors, and nurses – and contains much information of relevance to patients and family members as well. FFT also has important implications for other serious psychiatric and medical conditions, making the book a useful resource for researchers. It serves as a supplementary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses.

I Am Bipolar Manic $14.03 Tell someone you suffer from bipolar disorder, and that person may assume a great deal. For instance, he may want to call you crazy-inches away from your next psychological break or maybe even dangerous. These assumptions are thanks to media renditions of insane asylums and men in white coats. In the case of Mr. Kenneth Watson, none of these assumptions would be true, and yet he is bipolar manic."I Am Bipolar Manic" is the true story of one man’s psychological journey. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder very late in life, Watson spent many years as a successful businessman in England before relocating to the United States. Once in America, his success continued. It was quite a shock when his bipolar diagnosis came to light in Watson’s seventies. Surprisingly, though, Watson considers his self-proclaimed "brain malfunction" to be a gift from God.Watson never has nightmares. He has mind power over physical pain, and he often finds himself floating on emotional highs. He has certainly made mistakes in his life, but no human being is infallible-including those suffering from bipolar disorder. "I Am Bipolar Manic" is a look into an aging psyche, still sharp as a tack, regardless of a so-called malfunction. Overcoming adversity is only the beginning of this inspiring tale.

Clinical Manual of Bipolar Disorder by Ketter, Terence A. Edition ILL, 1 $58.99 This readable guide to the assessment and management of patients with bipolar disorder can help physicians keep abreast of dramatic and rapid advances of recent years and integrate them into their practice. Handbook of Diagnosis and Treatment of Bipolar Disordersemphasizes recent controlled studies and FDA-approved indications and translates these data into the real world of clinical practice. The contributions of the eleven chapter authors from Stanford University reflect more than a decade of clinical research and treatment undertaken at that institution, including advances in diagnosis and interventions supported by controlled studies. They provide crucial information regarding diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and treatment of patients from special populations—such as children, women, and older adults—and patients with particular challenging illness course such as rapid cycling.This is the first book to provide quantitative assessment of potential benefit (number needed to treat) and risk (number needed to harm) for all approved treatments for bipolar disorder, providing clinicians with information needed to balance benefits and risks in order to render individualized state-of-the-art, evidence-based care. It describes all FDA-approved indications—reviewing efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, illness phase–specific dosing, and drug interactions. A chapter on multiphase treatment strategy explains crucial illness transition points and describes how these have been integrated with knowledge of illness phase in mood disorders. The book then demonstrates the relevance of this approach to therapeutics by providing:• An overview of pharmacotherapy that covers the emergence of evidence-based pharmacotherapy and number-needed-to-treat and -harm analyses.• Guidelines to managing acute manic and mixed episodes that include evidence-based assessments of lithium, divalproex, carbamazepine, and second-generation antipsychotics.• Coverage of acute major depressive episodes in bipolar disorders that outlines four tiers of treatment for this most pervasive illness phase with the fewest approved treatments.• Discussion of the longer-term management of bipolar disorders, including reviews of controlled trials of recently approved pharmacotherapies such as lamotrigine, olanzapine, aripiprazole, and adjunctive quetiapine. • A review of the use of mood stabilizers and second-generation antipsychotics, often in combinations, as well as the controversial role of adjunctive antidepressants in treating patients with rapid-cycling bipolar disorders. • Description of important advances in evidence-based adjunctive psychotherapeutic interventions in bipolar depression, and bipolar maintenance treatment.Comprehensive in scope, yet readily accessible for application to clinical practice, the book includes summary tables, quick-reference lists of clinical pearls, and case studies to make its content mo
