 Practical and profound Apr 08, 2010
By Steven J. Dauer
As the title of this excellent new work indicates, Facing Bipolar addresses an individual's confrontation with a profoundly life-altering illness, which inevitably involves an array of challenges ranging from emotional acceptance to behavioral management. The authors have struck an admirable balance between addressing these various levels analytically and pragmatically, while articulating both their penetrating insights and concrete advice in a language and style that will be highly accessible to the adolescent to young adult target audience. A psychologist who has worked for many years with this population in college mental health settings, I have already recommended Facing Bipolar a number of times to patients as well as to their family members, for whom it also contains extremely useful information and guidance. In my view, the strength of the book lies in its keen perceptiveness regarding the particular reactions of the young person to a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and the special difficulties of lifestyle pressures, regulating personal actions, and adopting changed yet still positive expectations among that age group. I expect it to become an invaluable resource for professional practitioners and lay readers alike.

Refreshing! Jul 23, 2010
By Tiffany S.
Hands down, the best resource I've found for young adults dealing with bipolar disorder. I am 24 and was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder a few years ago. While I have been through many of the initial shocks and have learned the hard way that I need to be on a schedule (many of the things Facing Bipolar addresses), this book provided me with a sense of relief I didn't have before. Before reading this book, I felt alone. I don't know anyone my age or even close to it that struggles with mental health to the same extent. I've read half a dozen books about being bipolar and this is the one that really hit home. Facing Bipolar is a much needed resource for young adults dealing with bipolar disorder for the first time.

This book will save lives May 05, 2010
By Robert P. Miller
As a clinical psychologist who has for years treated college students in their teens and twenties, I've learned how much easier it is for them to accept, face, and cope with emotional challenges promptly. The longer they wait, the more difficult it can be to learn to cope, the more bad decisions they can make, and the more irreversible can be the effects of on their lives. For young people and their parents who are concerned about bipolar disorder, this book is the very first thing I recommend. It's detailed, practical, readable, informative, useful, and accurate. The authors clearly know what it's like for young people to face a serious diagnosis, and they answer questions and give clear and structured guidance with honesty, clarity, and encouragement.
I must strongly disagree with the reviewer who labeled this book as discouraging. Here are some quotes from the book:
"Are you crazy? No, but you may be bipolar."
"Living with bipolar [is like] being carried down a river on a raft. The good news is that you have a set of oars on board. Whether your trip down the river is manageable or not depends on the direction and control that you bring to the experience."
"You've surely heard those human-interest stories where someone experiences a life-altering event, and then after a period of adjustment they continue forward with amazing determination and fortitude. They make films, create new software, design homes, invent new technologies, teach, coach, build bridges, raise children, and contribute to society in many other important ways. Why not you? Why not now?"
If you are concerned about bipolar disorder in yourself or a loved one, don't miss the chance to save someone's life. Amazon may not like me saying this (the authors may not like it either) but in the unlikely event you don't like the book, just send it back for a refund and nothing lost.

First Class: Honest, clear and supportive information Apr 21, 2010
By Talking Doc
As a college counseling center psychologist I found this book amazingly on target for someone with a new bipolar diagnosis. It tells honestly and frankly what is involved in addressing this disorder so a person can live a full and satisfying life. Living with bipolar is not easy or simple, and this book does not mislead with optimistic platitudes. At the same time the authors are encouraging and empathetic, and offer lots of practical advice for the client, friends, and family. I gave a copy to a personal friend's daughter as well as recommending it to students at our university. Our staff unanimously found the book to be a useful, compact review of the treatments and issues of bipolar disorder. Thanks for a volume both caring and competent.

Wonderful resource! Apr 03, 2010
By Steve Sprinkle
As a psychologist who has worked in college and university counseling centers for over 20 years, I was delighted to find this wonderful resource for young adults with Bipolar Disorder and their friends, families, and loved ones. The authors offer an accessible and comprehensive guide based on the latest research and their many years of clinical experience. This book is destined to become a classic in the field.
