Cognitive Therapy for Bipolar Disorder – A Therapist′s Guide to Concepts, Methods and Practice 2e: Wiley Series in Clinical Psychology

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.
