Of all of the cognitive therapy manuals for bipolar disorder, this one has fared best in the research trials. The authors have decades of experience conducting research on bipolar disorder and providing psychotherapy as well. They take a broader perspective on the many established risk factors for the disorder and offer a range of intervention strategies to target core psychological aspects of the disorder.'</i></br> <b>Professor Sheri L. Johnson, </b> University of California, Berkeley, USA <p>Part of <i>The Wiley Series in Clinical Psychology, </i> this book is a treatment manual of cognitive-behavioural therapy for Bipolar Disorder, or Manic Depression. Now in its second edition, <i>Cognitive Therapy for Bipolar Disorder</i> outlines a treatment package for sufferers, which combines cognitive behavioural therapy specifically developed for bipolar disorders, with routine medication. This treatment is based on the combined work of the authors over several years and incorporates the very latest understanding of the psycho-social aspects of bipolar illness; it has proven success among bipolar patients who have not responded well to prophylactic medication alone. <p>Divided into two parts, the book first provides readers with a basic knowledge of bipolar disorders, and how they have been treated historically. The second part describes the new treatment designed by the authors. Chapters consider pre-therapy assessment, how to introduce the model to patients, specific cognitive and behavioural techniques for bipolar disorders, and self-management and coping with prodromes. The authors also discuss long-term issues, the sense of the self, family and social aspects, interpersonal issues in therapy, and issues related to services in the context of bipolars disorders.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book is a helpful treatment manual of cognitive behavioural therapy for BD patients written for professionals. It provides a basic knowledge of BD, including the latest studies. The book offers easy-to-follow guidance and illustrates the process of the therapy with many case examples." (<i>European Journal of Mental Health</i>, 1 November 2012)</p> <p>Clinical psychologists Lam (U. of Hull), Steven H. Jones (U. of Lancaster), and Peter Hayward, in private practice, update their 1999 guide to incorporate subsequent literature and their own experience working with bipolar patients using a form of prophylactic psychotherapy in conjunction with medication. The treatment package they describe contains elements from traditional cognitive therapy for depression, but also some elements they have devised for treating the particular difficulties experienced by people with bipolar illness. The early chapters provide readers with a basic knowledge about bipolar disorders, treatments available so far, the psycho-social aspects of bipolar disorders, and their model for psychological intervention. Then they explain the treatment package itself, and how therapists can integrate it into their practice.
