Description
Imagery-Based Cognitive Therapy for Bipolar Disorder and Mood Instability offers a novel approach to managing symptoms of bipolar disorder. By working with mental images, therapists can help reduce distress and enhance mood stability.
This practical guide provides tested techniques for formulating individualized treatment targets, using metacognitive strategies to reduce the impact of intrusive imagery, and rescripting problematic images. User-friendly instructions include case examples, sample scripts, and troubleshooting tips, making it easy to implement in clinical practice.
For therapists looking to expand their toolkit, this book includes 19 reproducible handouts and session agendas, as well as access to a downloadable Web page where you can print the materials. A valuable resource for anyone working with clients with bipolar disorder or mood instability.
