Winner (First Place)�CAmerican Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award, Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing Category There are, of course, a plethora of good books on this subject….What sets this work of Miklowitz and Gitlin apart is an emphasis on integrating psychopharmacology and psychotherapy as coequals and essential for maximizing treatment effectiveness and functional outcome. The authors are renowned researchers and clinicians who have collaborated for decades utilizing the knowledge and techniques they so cogently describe….Throughout the text are clinical vignettes that help illustrate how the authors have applied these concepts and recommendations that enliven the book and will resonate with any clinician who has worked with people who have bipolar disorder….This is as comprehensive a primer on bipolar disorder as one can find. It is well written by just two authors, leading to a uniformity of tone and lack of redundancy. It uniquely addresses blended treatment from the perspective of both a psychotherapist and a psychopharmacologist. If a clinician-in-training were to read only one book about this topic, they couldn’t do better than this one, and even seasoned clinicians would learn much from it, as did I.” —Journal of Clinical Psychiatry “It will be extremely valuable for trainees and clinicians who are learning or struggling with the nuances of diagnosing and treating this complicated illness.” —Doody's Review Service “An excellent guide to the treatment of a complicated, common, and potentially lethal illness. The authors' deep understanding of depression and mania is obvious on every page and their clinical recommendations are sophisticated and practical.” —Kay Redfield Jamison, PhD, The Dalio Family Professor in Mood Disorders and Professor of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Sharing Widget |
