Review :
"A tour de force. This book masterfully brings together all that is known about the biological, social, and psychological factors that contribute to bipolar disorder and that underlie treatment. In chapter after chapter, internationally acclaimed authors present their areas of expertise with extraordinary breadth and depth, and with great compassion for people with the disorder. Will surely be required reading for researchers, clinicians, and students." - Mark Williams, Wellcome Principal Research Fellow, Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford, United Kingdom "Finally! For the first time, this important book has placed bipolar disorder in a lifespan developmental context - something the field has sorely needed. Understanding Bipolar Disorder is a major contribution. Miklowitz and Cicchetti have produced an indispensable and comprehensive guide to the developmental aspects of the disorder, integrating cutting-edge neuroscience, clinical research, epidemiology, and therapeutics. They have assembled leaders in the field to produce a scholarly, accessible work that will be essential reading for clinicians, researchers, and trainees for years to come." - Jordan W. Smoller, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, USA
