The Bipolar Workbook, Second Edition: Tools for Controlling Your Mood Swings

Autor Monica Ramirez Basco
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iun 2015

În cadrul programelor de intervenție psihologică și al practicii clinice, gestionarea tulburării bipolare necesită o abordare structurată, bazată pe dovezi științifice, care să pună accent pe auto-monitorizare. The Bipolar Workbook, Second Edition se încadrează în acest context ca un instrument de lucru esențial, fiind conceput pentru a sprijini tratamentul psihiatric și psihoterapeutic prin metode cognitiv-comportamentale (CBT). Subliniem faptul că această a doua ediție a fost revizuită semnificativ pentru a fi mai accesibilă, oferind capitole mai scurte și exerciții optimizate care facilitează progresul constant al utilizatorului.

Descoperim aici o structură narativă și metodologică organizată în cinci etape logice. Primul pas vizează diferențierea simptomelor de identitatea proprie a pacientului, urmat de pași critici pentru identificarea declanșatorilor și gestionarea comportamentelor de evitare. Spre deosebire de lucrarea teoretică a autoarei, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Bipolar Disorder, Second Edition, care este un ghid clinic pentru specialiști, acest caiet de lucru este orientat direct către pacient, oferind un grad ridicat de interactivitate. Cititorii familiarizați cu Living Well with Bipolar Disorder de David J. Miklowitz vor aprecia aici accentul pus pe exerciții practice imediate, cum ar fi analiza gândurilor negative și lucrul cu negarea necesității medicației.

Suntem de părere că expertiza dr. Monica Ramirez Basco în tratarea amânării, vizibilă în lucrarea sa The Procrastinator's Guide to Getting Things Done, se reflectă excelent în capitolul dedicat stopării procrastinării, o barieră comună în recuperare. Tonul este unul empatic și protectiv, dar riguros din punct de vedere clinic, transformând concepte complexe în pași de acțiune pentru controlul episoadelor maniacale și depresive.
