Meant as an accompaniment to formal Cognitive-Behavioural treatment, this workbook provides both patients and families with a wealth of information on bipolar disorder, as well as strategies for reducing the likelihood of episodes of depression or mania. In addition to educational materials that define the disorder and show the effectiveness of CBT, it includes exercises patients can use to reinforce what they learned in session. It also provides information on adhering to medications, aswell as strategies and forms for charting stress and managing mood. Divided into four phases like the corresponding Therapist Guide, this workbook teaches patients the skills they need to effectively manage bipolar disorder and reduce the risk of relapse.
