Practice
Guideline For Treatment of Patients with Bipolar Disorder from the
American Psychiatric Association. (Excellent patient care strategies in
treating people with the bipolar disorder. Discusses medications and treatment
models. I recommend this to every one who is treating the bipolar disorder
as well as laypeople.). "Manual of practice guidelines for psychiatrists

Cognitive-Behavioral
Therapy for Bipolar Disorder by Monica Ramirez Basco, A. John Rush
[Amazon best seller] "(step-by-step instructions for using cognitive-behavioral
techniques to enhance pharmacotherapy in the management of bipolar disorder...
For mental health professionals at all levels).""Presents a conceptual
framework and step-by-step instructions for using cognitive-behavioral
techniques to enhance pharmacotherapy in the management of bipolar disorder.
First describes the benefits of using the approach and reviews the disorder's
diagnosis, course, and characteristics, then details specific techniques,
homework assignments for patients, and interventions, and discusses methods

health professionals at all levels.
Manic
Depressive Illness by Frederick K. Goodwin, Kay Redfield Jamison [Amazon
best seller] (NIMH says "Major, comprehensive and interpretive review
and reference for psychiatrists)."If you only buy one book about bipolar
disorder, then buy this one. For yourself, to help you understand yourself
and to understand your psychiatrist too. And then buy Jamison's autobiography,
"An unquiet mind", to lend to family and friends to help them understand
as best as any "normal" person can. Comprehensive and technical. But entirely
readable, this is THE textbook on the subject and although Jamison was
not "out" as one of us at the time she wrote, it still shows! It was frightening
in some ways to read this for the first time some years ago, realising
just how accurately she and her co-author described my experiences, yet
at the same time reassuring that here was someone who really had a grip
on this disease."
Bipolar
Disorder : A Family-Focused Treatment Approach by David J. Miklowitz,

medications to treat manic depression (bipolar disorder). Drs. Bohn and

Bipolar
Disorders: Clinical Course and Outcome which is edited by Joseph

modern era. The findings are summarized in a final chapter."
Clinical
Guide to Depression in Children and Adolescents by Mohammad Shafii,

disorder, I've read many books concerning this disease. This book was

me a few preventive techniques that have worked. I am not cured, but Ido
believe that this book has helped me in a way that no other book has,
and for that I am grateful."
