It incorporates cutting-edge concepts from several different evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I really appreciate that this book also addresses the importance of diet, sleep, and communication skills. Individuals with bipolar II and cyclothymia and their psychotherapists who use this book will be employing, in a systematic fashion, the most effective and current psychosocial interventions. It is clearly written and well-organized. I highly recommend this book.<strong>--Descartes Li, M.D., Director, UCSF Bipolar Disorder Program</strong></p> <p>"<em>The Bipolar Disorder Workbook</em> will empower you by sharing invaluable information that most people spend months, if not years, in treatment trying to glean. If you work through the exercises in this book, you will gain insight into your illness and lessen the negative impact bipolar disorder may have on your life. This book is accessible and easy to read, yet chock full of invaluable information on the specific tools to manage mood swings and common co-occurring issues like anxiety. The workbook covers psychotherapy tools and options (including ACT, CBT), reviews medications commonly used for treatment, and--most helpfully--places an emphasis on practical lifestyle changes that can positively impact your mood across depressive and energized states. In my experience as a psychologist working with mood disorders, people on the bipolar spectrum have immense power to impact their moods for the better; it's hard work, but it is possible and I believe this workbook provides a powerful tool to help guide the way."<strong>--Jasmine Teleki, PsyD</strong></p> <p><em>The Bipolar Disorder Workbook</em> fills an important gap in the self-help literature by addressing many of the common issues that people with bipolar II and cyclothymia experience. Readers will find an accessible, practical approach here that offers valuable tools and worksheets, and guides the reader through a series of useful exercises, oriented to identifying coping strategies for managing the mood shifts and risky behaviors often associated with mood disorders. Therapists will find this an important addition to their library of self-help books they recommend for patients.<strong>--Robert Reiser, Ph.D. co-author of <em>Bipolar Disorder: Advances in Psychotherapy Evidence-Based Practice</em></strong></p> <p>In <em>The Bipolar Disorder Workbook</em>, Dr. Forster and Ms. Gregory have written the quintessential guide for people experiencing symptoms of bipolar II or cyclothymia. This workbook is excellent as a stand-alone resource as well as an adjunctive support to any treatment plan. Their thoughtful approach to educating readers and facilitating management of these often-discouraging conditions is sensible, sensitive, and promises to be highly effective. The authors prompt readers to think about mood-related problems from a position of strength, walking them through a pragmatic and solution-focused process that helps people take control of their treatment and apply strategies for more successful and satisfying values-based living. This book is a must-have for anyone experiencing these problems, as well as for the clinicians who treat them.<strong>--Rochelle I. Frank, PhD, Assistant Clinical Professor, UC Berkeley, and co-author of <em>The Transdiagnostic Road Map to Case Formulation and Treatment Planning</em></strong></p><br>
