Publisher Synopsis
'A practical, straightforward book that will be a great help to those who have bipolar illness, as well as their families.' - Kay Redfield Jamison, PhD, author of An Unquiet Mind; 'Dr. Miklowitz's book is both impressive and very humane... This book should be required reading for people with the disorder, their family members, and the physicians and therapists who treat them.' - Demitri F. Papolos, MD, and Janice Papolos, authors of Overcoming Depression and The Bipolar Child; 'Dr. Miklowitz's pioneering research has proven that education about bipolar disorder and its treatment can actually affect the course of the illness, even though it stems from biological causes. This authoritative, eminently readable book provides just the right tools for patients and families seeking to lessen the impact of this disorder on their lives.' - Frederick K. Goodwin, MD, George Washington University Medical Center Read more...
