Survival Strategies for Parenting Children with Bipolar Disorder

This book is intended to be a practical manual for parents of children with Bipolar Disorder (BD). The author is a psychotherapist who has worked with adults and children with BD. The book is divided into five sections. Section One, which has six chapters, focuses specifically on BD. Sections Two and Three focus on children with BD comorbid with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) and Tourette Syndrome (TS), respectively and are not as pertinent as the fourth section that addresses how Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and BD differ. The last section discusses how to deal with schools, professionals, psychiatric hospitals and the police. The Conclusion looks at six keys to personal wellness for families of children with BD.
