Summary: 2.3 million Americans, approximately 1.2% of the U.S. population, suffer from bipolar disorder and nearly 1 million Canadians suffer from severe and persistent mental illness. Mental disorders are now recognized to rival major physical diseases as the leading cause of economic, physical, and psychological burdens worldwide. Stephen Hinshaw's compelling account of his father's life-long struggle with bipolar disease reveals the isolation, confusion, hopelessness, and destruction of serious mental illness that patients and their families experience. Hinshaw, an academic psychologist, incorporates the range of factors that contribute to serious mental disorder, as well as issues of self-image, resilience, diagnosis and treatment. His belief that devastating and even debilitating life experiences can yield strength, gentleness, and resilience is reflected in the compassionate description of his father's life. Stephen P. Hinshaw s Professor of Psychology and former Director of the Clinical Science program at the University of California, Berkeley. He has authored over 120 articles, chapters and reviews and is the author of the book, Attention Deficits and Hyperactivity in Children (Sage, 1994).

Summary: After almost three years in print and more than 100,000 copies sold, The Bipolar Child has made an indelible mark on the field of psychiatry and has become the resource that families rely on. Now in the first book about early-onset bipolar disorder is completely revised and expanded.
Bipolar disorder -- manic depression -- was once thought to be rare in children. Now researchers are discovering that not only can bipolar disorder begin very early in life, but also that it is much more common than ever imagined. Yet the illness is often misdiagnosed or overlooked. Why? Bipolar disorder manifests itself differently in children than in adults, and in children there is an overlap of symptoms with other childhood psychiatric disorders. As a result, these kids may be given any number of psychiatric labels: "ADHD," "Depressed," "Oppositional Defiant Disorder," "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder," or "Separation Anxiety Disorder." Too often they are treated with stimulants or antidepressants--medications that can actually worsen the bipolar condition.

Summary: The revolution in psychiatry that began mid-century has led to dramatic advances in the understanding and treatment of manic-depressive illness. No other mental disorder has been the subject of such clinically useful and scientifically productive research. This book is the first to survey this massive body of evidence comprehensively and to assess its meaning for both clinician and scientist. It also vividly portrays the experience of manic-depressive illness from the perspective of patients, their doctors, and researchers, and recounts the torments of some of the great poets and composers whose art was almost certainly enriched, energized, and deepened by the extremes of manic-depressive illness.

Summary: Grade 4-8-In both of these volumes, Gold concentrates on individuals who suffer from the above disorders. This approach serves to personalize the illnesses, but it also narrows the focus slightly. In Attention Deficit Disorder, the author follows a young boy from childhood to college, and gives examples of how his ADD led to problems in school, difficulties at home, and even injuries due to his impulsiveness. In Bipolar Disorder, several young people are profiled and examples are given of how their manic energy and episodes of despair have affected their lives. Both books include information on the causes and various types of the disorders, plus treatment options and reassurances that neither condition is related to intelligence. The formats are open and will attract reluctant readers. Full-color photos illustrate the texts.

Summary: Psychotherapists are increasingly involved in the treatment of disorders for which, in the past, drug treatments have been the main form of therapy. Bipolar disorder, or manic depression, is one of these diagnoses, where in future a combination of cognitive therapy and medication may provide a better outcome for some patients than drug therapy alone. The authors of this book are pioneers of this approach and it is hoped that their methods and experience will be of value to many therapists and clinicians, and to their clients. The first part of their book deals with the current understanding of bipolar disorder and how this relates to the principles of cognitive therapy. The authors provide a review of conventional approaches to treatment, and these fundamentals about bipolar disorder, its treatment and the process of cognitive therapy provide a basis for effective assessment and selection of patients for cognitive therapy. The remainder of the book describes their methods in detail, with many clinical examples and case vignettes, and full consideration of the context of treatment, including both interpersonal and service delivery issues. The authors also deal with the wider family and social context of this problem and its treatment, ensuring that this book provides a wide-ranging and up-to-date professional text on bipolar disorder as well as a practical guide to a new and hopeful approach to therapy for these patients.
