Product Description
Review
"This book is peppered with brilliant and intimate accounts of the personal journeys of Dr. Last, her patients, and their loving families. It is a fabulous resource for anyone who is riding the roller coaster with a spouse or partner who has bipolar disorder." - Mani Pavuluri, author of What Works for Bipolar Kids
"With a lot of love and hard work, the two of us have been able to achieve a stable and wonderful life. My wife has written this book for you and your partner, so that you can benefit from everything the two of us have learned during the course of our relationship about living, as a couple, with bipolar disorder." - from the Foreword by Barry M. Rubin
"This book is a 'must read' for loved ones of bipolar sufferers. Dr. Last's candid sharing of her own personal struggles, and her therapeutic insight and recommendations, will resonate deeply with readers." - Mary A. Fristad, coauthor of Raising a Moody Child
"Few books deal with the challenges that bipolar disorder poses for couples. Anyone whose spouse or partner has the illness should read this easy-to-digest guide. Dr. Last helps the spouse understand what the sufferer is going through and how both partners can get their needs met. Couples will find much useful information for coping with the disorder, improving communication, strengthening their relationships, and taking care of each other on both a practical and an emotional level." - David J. Miklowitz, Department of Psychology, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA

Format:Paperback
As stated in the title for this review, I strongly believe this should be recommended reading for all those affected by Bipolar disorder, especially those who are loved ones, friends and family. This book is specifically written for that latter category and is an invaluable aid for those who want to understand the disorder, and how those affected feel and what they go through - and what you can, should, and shouldn't do, what to look for etc. I could waffle on; but in short this is a veritable bible of bipolar information.
Sprinkled with examples to clarify points, checklists and FAQ like Q&A sections, this is a book I guarantee will change you and your partners life for the better.
All thanks to Dr C.G. Last for sharing her work, experience and guidance with us.

Format:Paperback
my wife has had bipolar since her teens, but it was only just diagnosed in the last 2 years, she is adamant about leaving the family and trying to beat this on her own, this book goes through all the problems that partners go through, a lot of it was so true to life it was like it was written for us, my wife refuses to read the book as it identifies her illnes, she cant accept what she has, this book is like a lifeline to carers and partners alike, i would recommend it to anyone who has to live with the illness.
