{ "item_title" : "Bipolar Disorder", "item_author" : [" Robert P. Kizer "], "item_description" : "BIPOLAR DISORDER: A CLINICAL GUIDE presents a structured clinical approach to the assessment and long-term management of bipolar disorder, with particular emphasis on Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT).Bipolar disorder is a recurrent mood disorder that can affect emotional stability, sleep and daily routines, interpersonal relationships, occupational functioning, treatment adherence, and overall quality of life. Effective management therefore requires more than addressing individual mood episodes. It involves recognizing patterns of illness, identifying early warning signs, supporting treatment engagement, maintaining regular daily rhythms, and developing practical strategies for preventing recurrence.This book examines the clinical principles of IPSRT and their application within comprehensive bipolar disorder care. It addresses: - Clinical assessment and diagnostic formulation- Differentiation of manic, hypomanic, depressive, and mixed presentations- Risk assessment, comorbidity, and functional impairment- Treatment orientation and individualized treatment planning- Interpersonal stressors and relationship patterns associated with mood instability- Stabilization of sleep, activity, and other social rhythms- Behavioral activation and management of depressive symptoms- Medication adherence and collaborative treatment engagement- Recognition of early warning signs and relapse prevention- Management of residual symptoms and functional recovery- Therapeutic alliance, boundaries, and challenges in treatment- Maintenance treatment and appropriate continuity of care- Planned tapering or conclusion of psychotherapy- Reassessment and re-entry into treatment when clinically indicatedCase-based teaching examples are used to illustrate how clinical principles can be translated into individualized care. Particular attention is given to the relationship between mood symptoms, biological and social rhythms, interpersonal stress, treatment adherence, and everyday functioning.The text also emphasizes an important principle of contemporary bipolar disorder management: psychosocial treatment should be integrated with appropriate pharmacotherapy, medical monitoring, risk assessment, and other components of comprehensive care. IPSRT is presented as a structured therapeutic approach rather than a substitute for medication or other indicated treatments.Written for clinicians, trainees, and healthcare professionals seeking a practical framework for understanding bipolar disorder and IPSRT, this guide emphasizes clinical reasoning, individualized care, continuity of treatment, and sustainable relapse-prevention strategies.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/817/889/9798178893708_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "38.99", "online_price" : "38.99", "our_price" : "38.99", "club_price" : "38.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
