Bipolar disorder a family focused treatment approach
Bipolar Disorder: A Family-Focused Treatment Approach by David J. Miklowitz
Arguing that bipolar disorder strongly affects the functioning of families and marriages, and, in turn, that family functioning affects the course of bipolar disorder, this accessible book details a unique family-focused psychoeducational treatment approach. This 9-month outpatient program teaches patients and families to understand manic-depression and to communicate and solve practical problems related to the illness. The authors present a complete treatment manual, grounded in extensive research, that guides clinicians step-by-step from assessment to termination. Throughout, the books utility is enhanced by clinical case material, session vignettes, and reproducible client handouts.**NOTE ABOUT PHOTOCOPY RIGHTS: The publisher grants to individual purchasers of this book nonassignable permission to reproduce most handouts in this book for clinical use.

Levels of familial expressed emotion during an acute episode are consistently associated with rates of recurrence among bipolar patients. This article briefly reviews the evidence for expressed emotion EE as a prognostic indicator and then illustrates family-focused treatment FFT with adults and adolescents suffering from bipolar disorder. FFT is a time-limited, modularized treatment consisting of psychoeducation, communication enhancement training, and problem-solving skills. Controlled trials indicate that FFT is an efficacious adjunct to pharmacotherapy for patients with bipolar disorder. We describe its recent application to early onset bipolar patients and include a clinical vignette. The early onset form is characterized by frequent mixed episodes, continuous cycling, suicidality, psychosis, and comorbidity with disruptive, attention deficit hyperactivity, anxiety, and substance-misuse disorders.
