Review
"This is an indispensable treatment guide for all clinicians dealing with bipolar patients. Infused with clinical wisdom, transmitted in illustrative clinical vignettes, it is a clearly written guide to a family-based program. In a managed care environment, this is a focused, flexible, and efficient treatment." --John F. Clarkin, PhD, Professor of Clinical Psychology in Psychiatry, Cornell University Medical College; Director of Psychology, The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center
"Greatly influenced by the late Michael Goldstein's innovative work on family intervention in schizophrenia, this book is the fruit of Miklowitz and Goldstein's collaboration in the application of similar approaches to the equally great challenge of ameliorating the course of manic-depressive illness through family intervention. In this book, David Miklowitz and, regrettably posthumously, Michael Goldstein bring the wisdom of their psychoeducational approach and the techniques for applying it to practicing clinicians. Whether such clinicians typically treat individuals, couples, or entire families, they will benefit enormously from the perspective offered here and find much to incorporate into their work with patients suffering from bipolar disorder." --Ellen Frank, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
"This book [presents] the first treatment approach for bipolar disorder that truly integrates the use of medication and family intervention....Miklowitz and Goldstein succeed brilliantly in not being bound to a Procrustean bed of limited therapeutic rules. Instead, their treatment guidelines continuously emphasize a 'psychotherapeutic attitude' in which the experience, stories, and special life circumstances of the family members are given attention....This volume should quickly become required reading in every family and marital therapy training program. In addition, it should be read as well by all professionals, especially psychiatrists, who need to learn more about how the effectiveness of the medications they prescribe can be substantially enhanced with family-focused treatment." --From the Foreword by Lyman C. Wynne

5.0 out of 5 starsEXCELLENTJuly 4, 1999
By R. Ziegler
Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent informational book for those who have bipolar disorder and their families. The book is designed to be used by mental health care professionals, and I most certainly encourage them to purchase this book for a family treatment plan that will benefit their clients and the client's family. The approach of the therapy takes the entire family into consideration. It is not just the individual with bipolar that goes through the trauma, but the entire family. The therapy educates the patient and the family as to the disorder and its' attributes, gives the family ways of coping with the disorder and hospitalization, works on medicinal compliance, and prepares the client and the family for any future episodes. Most importantly, it improves the communication of the family which leads to a healthier environment for the client as well as the family. This book is a definite must have for mental health care providers as well as clients and their families. Excellent Job Dr. Miklowitz. By the way, I have bipolar disorder and am a graduate student studying Agency Counseling Education. I have every intention of using the methods in this book for my clients and myself. Well Worth The Money!!!
