Managing Bipolar Disorder: Workbook: A cognitive-behavioural approach

Intended for use in conjunction with formal cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), this Workbook provides patients and their families with a wealth of information on bipolar disorder, as well as strategies for reducing the likelihood of episodes of depression or mania. In addition to educational materials that define the disorder and show the effectiveness of CBT, it includes exercises that patients can use to reinforce what they learn in their therapy sessions. It also provides information on adhering to medications, as well as forms for charting stress and strategies for managing mood. Divided into four phases like its corresponding Therapist Guide, this Workbook teaches patients the skills they need to effectively manage bipolar disorder and reduce the risk of relapse.
