Handbook of Diagnosis and Treatment of Bipolar Disorders
Dr. Ketter and his colleagues have provided for us a timely clinical guide for one of our most disabling disorders, namely bipolar disorder. A wonderful mix of evidence-based and clinical expertise, this clinical manual sets a new standard for assessment and management manuals for psychiatric disorders. Since the field is rapidly advancing, I will look forward already to the next edition. --David J. Kupfer, M.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine<br /><br />This is a treasure trove of information and guidance for anyone who treats individuals with bipolar disorder or who wants to learn to do so. The authors succeed in their goal of attempting to provide clinicians with the empirical data needed to balance benefit and risk. I'd like to have two copies of this valuable collection of chapters: one for the office as a guide to treatment and one for home as a reference to the rapidly growing literature on the treatment of bipolar disorder. --Ellen Frank, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of MedicineDr. Ketter and his colleagues have provided for us a timely clinical guide for one of our most disabling disorders, namely bipolar disorder.
