Cognitive Therapy for Bipolar Disorder: A Therapist's Guide to Concepts, Methods and Practice by Dominic H. Lam, Steven H. Jones, and Peter Hayward provides a comprehensive understanding of bipolar disorders and their treatment through cognitive-behavioural therapy. This updated edition incorporates the latest research and treatment packages developed over the past decade, including the results of a large randomized controlled study on the efficacy of CBT for relapse prevention in Bipolar Disorder. The book offers a combined approach to treatment, combining cognitive behavioural therapy with medication, and includes numerous clinical examples and case studies. With this guide, therapists can gain a basic knowledge of bipolar disorders, their psycho-social aspects, treatments, and a model for psychological intervention, enabling them to provide effective care for patients with Bipolar Disorder.
