双相情感障碍对于心理治疗师及其客户

English | 2023 | ISBN-10: 303138749X | 263 pages| PDF (True) | 6 MB

This unique book is needed because it aims to improve the care of Bipolar clients while strengthening the clinical practices of non-MD psychotherapists. What is different is the proposal that psychotherapists manage the overall care of Bipolar clients. The increased number of publications about Bipolar over the past decades has enhanced the recognition of Bipolar. As many as 16 million individuals in the US may have a Bipolar episode at some point. Psychiatrists have traditionally managed Bipolar clients but there are not enough psychiatrists and they generally spend only 10 to 15 minutes every one to six months with their clients―often not enough time to recognize oncoming Bipolar episodes. Therapeutic strategy has changed from treating acute episodes to postponing next episodes. Psychotherapists see their clients for 50 minutes every week and are in a better position to recognize developing episodes. Psychotherapists do not prescribe and medicines are usually needed along with psychotherapy for best results. This book encourages psychotherapists to vet and collaborate with prescribers in caring for the therapists’ Bipolar clients. Lacking in the psychotherapists’ armamentarium for treating Bipolar clients is education regarding diagnostic signs, symptoms, and treatment including the most productive medications. This book provides therapists and clients the needed information and encourages academic departments and other psychotherapy programs to institute training about Bipolar Disorders.


这本书的独特之处在于,它旨在改善双相情感障碍患者(Bipolar clients)的护理,并增强非精神科心理治疗师(non-MD psychotherapists)的临床实践。不同的是,建议由心理治疗师负责管理双相情感障碍患者的整个护理。 过去几十年关于双相情感障碍的出版物数量增加,提高了该疾病的认知。美国有超过1600万人曾在某个时间点患有双相情感障碍发作。 精神科医生通常管理双相患者,但缺乏足够的精神科医生,并且他们一般每几个月只花10到15分钟与患者会面——往往不足以识别即将出现的双相情感障碍发作。治疗策略从急性发作期转向推迟下次发作。 心理治疗师每周为他们的客户进行50分钟的会谈,更有可能注意到正在发展的发作。心理治疗师不负责开处方,最好情况下是需要药物配合心理治疗才能达到最佳效果。这本书鼓励心理治疗师审阅并与开药医生合作,来照顾他们所负责的双相情感障碍患者。 在心理治疗师的工具箱中缺乏有关诊断迹象、症状及治疗的信息,特别是最有效的药物。这本书提供了所需的信息给治疗师和他们的客户,并鼓励学术部门和其他心理治疗项目实施关于双相障碍的培训。
