 |
This volume provides a state-of-the-science review of current knowledge on bipolar
disorder in children. The first comprehensive text of its kind, the book covers all
aspects of theory, research, and practice in this rapidly growing area. Leading clinical
researchers address such topics as epidemiology, diagnosis and assessment, comorbidity,
and outcomes. A range of different treatment approaches are described and evaluated,
including pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and family-based psychoeducation and support.
Compelling findings are also presented on the neurobiological and genetic bases of the
disorder. Throughout, the book identifies promising directions for future investigation
while weighing in on key methodological questions and areas of controversy.
