Bipolar disorder : a cognitive therapy approach

This volume provides a guide to conducting cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder. The key theme is respect--people with bipolar disorder are treated as people and not as incidental hosts for the illness. Beyond clinical tools for addressing maladaptive cognitions, the authors provide strategies for helping clients address manic and depressive symptoms, prevent suicidal behavior, communicate with family members, and accept the need for medication. The text also includes a series of clinical vignettes and transcripts that demonstrate how to conduct this therapy
