Klappentext Part of The Wiley Series in Clinical Psychology , this book is a treatment manual of cognitive-behavioural therapy for Bipolar Disorder, or Manic Depression. Now in its second edition, Cognitive Therapy for Bipolar Disorder 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. 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 bipolar disorders.
