商品簡介
Post (psychiatry, George Washington U.) and Leverich (Principal Investigator, Bipolar Collaborative Network) present this casebook, which is based on systematic clinical trials and studies at the National Institutes of Mental Health and elsewhere. The authors take a broad view of the illness and examine it in its long-term range instead of the short-term manic episodes. Coverage encompasses the life course of the treatment of bipolar disorder, including issues of remission, recurrence, treatment resistance, and other nuances that are critical to effective clinical decision-making. Sectioned into 14 parts, the book includes approximately 60 individual case studies to cover a broad range of patients and treatment approaches. A lengthy appendix with seven additional sections concludes the book. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
