    基督教聖經之智慧書導讀 : "This manual presents a powerful approach for helping people manage bipolar illness and protect against the recurrence of manic or depressive episodes. From Ellen Frank, the developer of interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) and a leading researcher and clinician in the field, the book details each phase of the treatment and marshals clear evidence for its effectiveness." "Providing all needed tools for implementing IPSRT, the book takes the clinician step by step from screening, assessment, and case conceptualization, through acute therapy, maintenance treatment, and periodic booster sessions. Interventions are grounded in the latest knowledge about the neurobiology, etiology, and course of bipolar disorder, and focus on addressing key potential pathways along which new affective episodes develop. Demonstrated are proven ways to stabilize moods by improving medication adherence, building coping skills and relationship satisfaction, and shoring up the regularity of daily rhythms or routines, even in times of stress. Patients are also given the opportunity to grieve for what Frank terms "the lost healthy self" and come to terms with how the disorder has altered their lives, thereby reducing denial and increasing acceptance of the lifelong nature of the illness. Throughout, rich case examples illustrate strategies for tailoring treatment to each patient's individual needs and current symptomatology. Special features of the volume include reproducible assessment tools and a chapter on how to overcome specific treatment challenges." "The first complete guide to this promising therapeutic approach, this highly practical book belongs on the desks of practitioners in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, and related mental health fields. It may serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level seminars and clinical practica."--BOOK JACKET.
