Bipolar Disorder: A Family-Focused Treatment Approach

Bipolar Disorder: A Family-Focused Treatment Approach





Arguing that bipolar disorder strongly affects the functioning of families and marriages, and, in turn, that family functioning affects the course of bipolar disorder, this accessible book details a unique family-focused psychoeducational treatment approach. This 9-month outpatient program teaches patients and families to understand manic-depression and to communicate and solve practical problems related to the illness. The authors present a complete treatment manual, grounded in extensive research, that guides clinicians step-by-step from assessment to termination. Throughout, the book's utility is enhanced by clinical case material, session vignettes, and reproducible client handouts.*

The Family Inside: Working With the Multiple





This practical book on working with multiple personality disorder demystifies MPD and redefines it as a creative and sensible way of surviving a childhood of extreme trauma and absolute powerlessness. Using Judy Kessler's own story as an example, and referring to work by Virginia Satir, Erik Erikson and Gestalt, the authors address the complex results of this survival skill and the challenges that MPD clients and their therapists face in reintegrating the shattered self.
