Bipolar Disorder: A Cognitive Therapy Approach is a rich source-book of practical and sensitive guidance on bipolar disorder—a devastating illness that until now has been treated primarily through somatic means. In this book, practitioners will discover the "art and heart" of cognitive therapy in the treatment of bipolar disorder. This volume also examines the interface between cognitive therapy and pharmacotherapy and provides explicit guidelines for addressing bipolar patients' misgivings about taking medications.

This course is designed to help you to:

1. Comprehend how cognitive-behavioral conceptualizations and interventions complement pharmacologic approaches to the treatment of bipolar disorder,
2. Gain knowledge of and successfully apply cognitive therapy techniques to hypomanic symptoms,
3. Construct treatment strategies that are time-effective, yet address longitudinal issues in the care of bipolar patients,
4. Adapt cognitive therapy techniques for use in conjoint and family sessions that include the identified patient with bipolar disorder, and
5. Combine change-oriented and hope-inducing methods with a sensitivity for the objective losses and stigmatic biases endured by many bipolar patients.
