Very helpful workbook for people with bipolar disorder. by J. Harrison (Lincoln, Nebraska) 5 Stars
January 09, 2009
I have found this workbook to be very helpful. Its table of contents is very detailed so you can find the part of the book that interests you and that you want to go to quickly. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have had bipolar disorder for a long time this book can be helpful in either situation. Not every part of the book pertained to me so I just skipped those that didn't. Also the book's author grants permission for people who buy the book to make copies of the worksheets to use for their own use, which I find helpful. I find this workbook has a good balance of both parts to read and worksheets, not too much of either. It does a good job of explaining different ways of controlling thinking errors that come with bipolar disorder. I am very glad that I bought this book and use it frequently.
