Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Nicholas Greco IV, MS, BCETS, CATSM(Abbott Laboratories)
Description: This workbook successfully guides patients through the course of their illness at an easy-to-understand level and is specific to various stages of the illness. It will help patients gain awareness, understanding, knowledge, and ownership of their illness.
Purpose: This book is designed to help guide the reader through the early warning signs of relapse, how to resist the urge of a manic episode, and manage the depression that unfortunately occurs. This book gives readers power — power to take control of their illness through proven step-by-step self-help techniques. It is quite clear that two themes emerge. The first is that this workbook provides a trusted resource to turn to, and second, it is a means of promoting an increased therapeutic relationship with one's treating clinician.
Audience: Every patient who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder will find this to be a most beneficial resource. Notably, clinicians will enjoy sharing the exercises and tools with their patients as well. The author is one of the most well regarded members of the mental health field.
Features: The book is well structured into four sections that cover awareness of the illness, taking precautions to prevent relapse, reducing and controlling symptoms, and making changes to enhance progress. It does not take away the responsibility and ownership that the patient has for their illness. It promotes stability, medication compliance, management of emotions, and a proactive stance for one to retain recovery.
Assessment: This is, undoubtedly, one of the best workbooks on bipolar disorder in a long time. It is thorough, realistic, and should be given to all bipolar patients as part of their treatment plan. Highly recommended!!

    Evaluation of The Bipolar Workbook

    I purchased this workbook for a close relative who's recently been diagnosed w/Bipolar Disorder after having gone through major "ups" and "downs" for nearly one year prior to her diagnosis. This workbook assumes that many people w/Bipolar Disorder are ready to come to terms w/their diagnosis, when that isn't always reality. The text begins w/true or false statements, one of which implies that a person's diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder may or may not be valid. Psychiatrists' listen to the patient & family members' regarding the signs/symptoms that have been noted and the duration of same as well as utilize their their own observational skills during their assessment of patient. This workbook also refers to its teaching the person w/Bipolar Disorder Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills so that they can foresee and address their "triggers". However, this workbook does NOT stress enough the importance of the use of a combined approach to treatment which would include medication as well as group or individual therapy.

    Extremely helpful

    As parents of a bipolar adult, this book helped us recognize when he needed to adjust his meds or see his psychiatrist again. He refused counseling, so this workbook gives him sound advice and strategies to use in almost every situation.
