Reviews

Bipolar disorder complicated by substance abuse is an enormous clinical challenge. This book presents timely and clinically relevant information that will be of extraordinary value to any clinician interested in learning about and treating individuals who have both disorders. This is a readily understandable, well-organized, and practical 'how-to' guide to one of the most efficacious treatments available for individuals with co-occurring substance abuse and psychiatric disorders. - Kathleen T. Brady, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina, USA A valuable clinical resource. Weiss and Connery provide an excellent guide to the nature of bipolar disorder and substance abuse, their interactions, and the role of group therapy in fostering recovery. The practicalities of implementing the approach are succinctly described, including the logistics of setting up and running group sessions. The heart of the book lies in its clear, step-by-step explication of each session. This book is destined to become a classic in the treatment of dual disorders. It deserves to be on the shelf of any clinician working with this challenging population. - Kim T. Mueser, Department of Psychiatry, Dartmouth Medical School, USA
