Review: The methods presented here represent another step towards the development of clinical methods for preventing relapse and for helping patients to live with bipolar disorder. The authors address the complexities of working with individuals who have varying histories and clinical presentations: those who have recently been diagnosed; those who are symptomatically stable; and those who struggle day to day to achieve symptom remission. This edition has been arranged to allow clinicians more flexibility, guiding them towards selecting methods that address the stage of illness and treatment and tailor the intervention to the specific problems and needs of the patients. It describes the methods presented in the first edition, along with new strategies for preventing relapse, adaptations to the treatment of children and adolescents, ways to tailor the intervention to the specific needs of the patients, and interventions for coping with common comorbid psychiatric and psychological problems.
