"This is not just another book attempting to review the vast literature on bipolar disorder. Rather, it is an insight into a method of investigation and understanding and treating patients, which should be required reading for experts, generalists, and students alikle." -- Russell T. Joffe, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, New Jersey Medical School "This uniquely original book is the culmination of Robert Post's decades of pioneering research and clinical work at NIMH and the Stanley Netowrk in understanding the origin, course, and treatment response in of [sic] bipolar disorder. ... The therapeutic interventions proposed herein are based on systematic, long-term trials on the type of patients observed in contemporary practice, rather than the 'fictionalized' samples in conventional double-blind trials." -- Hagop S. Akiskal, M.D., Professor and Director of International Mood Center, University of California, San Diego |
