Abstract:	Family-focused psychoeducational treatment (FFT) is among a very small number of psychosocial treatments that have been found to be effective in multiple studies to improve the course of bipolar disorder. This indispensable guide--now in a revised and updated second edition--describes how to implement FFT to help patients and family members understand bipolar disorder, communicate more effectively, solve practical problems related to the illness, and reduce the risk and severity of relapse. Revised throughout to incorporate the latest knowledge on the illness and its biological and psychosocial treatment, the second edition covers the treatment of adolescents as well as adults. It includes more than a dozen reproducible handouts.
