    Extremely useful book!

    I wanted to let you know that I finally received your book. The material you cover in your book, is no less than profoundly educational. You cover topics in your book, that we, as parents of a bipolar child, long suspected, but have never discussed with her doctors. Nor have we ever found information this detailed, in any other books.

    A Therapist's Opinion

    George Lynn has written a superb, powerful, and extremely helpful book. What came through is his compassion, practicality, and sense of hope for these children and their parents.

    Excellent for parents, relatives & teachers

    If you thought *The Bipolar Child* was great, wait til you see the user-friendly way this book is put together. It is perfect for helping teachers & relatives understand not only WHAT bipolar is but HOW to handle your bipolar child. It gives simple explanations for scientific terms that anyone can understand... and something I absolutely love, it gives little suggestion boxes throughout the book of how to talk with your bipolar child about his/her symptoms & how to help them understand it! With the way this book is written, it could easily be a text book for a continued learning course on bipolar children.
