An excellent overview of what is known about Bipolar in Youth. From epidemiology to diagnosis to evidence based theory regarding the etiology and treatment this book has it all. The 3 Bob s, with the additional of Dr. Fristad have done it again. --Russell E. Scheffer, M.D., Chair and professor, Kansas University School of Medicine- Wichita
The book is a comprehensive yet readable synthesis of the existing research and expert opinion on pediatric bipolar disorder. The authors have made this complex area of psychiatry accessible to everyone but were able to maintain scientific rigor so that the book is useful to a wide range of readers, including specialists in the field. --David Axelson, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Director, Child & Adolescent Bipolar Services, Western Psychiatric Institute & Clinic, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

Clinical Manual for the Management of Bipolar Disorder in Children and Adolescents
Books Description
Clinical Manual for Management of Bipolar Disorder in Children and Adolescents was written in response to the growing body of knowledge surrounding pediatric bipolar illness and the underlying biological, environmental, and psychosocial influences that exacerbate symptoms and behavior. Written to provide clinically useful information about diagnosis and management, this manual is a comprehensive collection of empirical evidence, case studies, and the growing number of evidence-based reports on pediatric bipolar disorder over the past five years. This revised and extended manual thoroughly examines how the past dualism of nature versus nurture should be replaced with the more accurate nurture enhancing or igniting nature in young patients facing bipolar disorder. This enhanced text also features several new chapters by Dr. Mary Fristad and team at The Ohio State University, who are experts in the family and psychosocial aspects of pediatric bipolar disorder.
