From the Inside Flap

"Likely to have a significant impact on the lives of people diagnosed as suffering from bipolar disorder" - Prof. David Winter, Head of Clinical Psychology Services (Barnet), Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust

"The therapy...will enable those who live with the effects of severe mood instability to develop a sense of renewed agency and hope" - Dr Maria Gennoy, Consultant Clinical Psychologist

"I recommend wholly John Sorensen's therapeutic method" - John Rhodes, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Joint Head of Adult Mental Health, Haringey

"It worked wonders...It is very good" - A Client who has undergone the therapy

The Sorensen Therapy for Instability in Mood (STIM) is an important new psycho-educational and cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder (BPD). Taking place over only four 60-minute sessions, it can be delivered by practitioner with little specialist training.
The author, Dr John Sorensen, has achieved impressive results with patients who have received the therapy, with significant improvements in their perceived control over mood, and significantly reduced hopelessness, which is known to be closely related to the likelihood of attempting suicide.
The STIM manual and client workbook offers a psychological therapy which has proven to be effective, popular with clients, inexpensive to implement and which delivers rapid results. It is based on the collaborative development of a relapse-prevention handbook that also provides the client with an individualised bio-psycho-social formulation of their BPD-related experiences. It involves education about the disorder, work with the therapist to understand the client's particular triggers for manic or depressive periods, and the inclusion of the patient's social network in attempts to stabilise mood.

John Sorensen is a Clinical Psychologist at North Manchester General Hospital and has worked in mental health departments in Denmark and in the UK. Throughout his professional life Dr Sorensen has been committed to the development of treatments and approaches that empower service users and are based on the needs of the individual.

Really Valuable 26 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a psychiatric social worker I have now used this book with two clients and both have got significant benefit from it. Sorensen's book outlines four workshops; one on the nature of bipolar disorder, one focusing on depression and supporting the reader to map his or her own symptoms and triggers, another doing the same thing for the manic side, and a fourth chapter which looks at managing the condition in the context of relationships and work situations. The book is practical, free of jargon, and supports the reader to note exactly how the illness works in his or her case. My clients focused on different aspects of the book as particularly helpful and I now plan to work with further clients and colleagues of mine are also working with it. My clients have made significant gains in insight and it will be interesting to see the long-term benefit over time.

So simple and short-term (4 sessions!!), yet so comprehensive. I have been looking for something along these lines for years and I really believe that this could be used across mental health services and even by GPs or practice nurses who need something quick, easy to implement and yet satisfying for clients who want to be responsible partners in maintaining their mood stability. Great to use!

This book is really a programme of action and change to attitudes, so your patients need to be ready to confront how they may have been 'mismanaging' their mood instability for years. If you are willing to do that work with them, the book is excellent, if not it is a waste of time. I personally liked its practical, no nonsense approach and the fact that it does not just have one 'truth' but allows you to find what works for the individual person as you go along. Also the workbook gives a permanent record of what you develop and it contains strategies and handouts for family and friends, which I have found useful.
Highly recommended partly for its simple, easy to use, format that does not require extensive training or preparation.
