Summary Cut through the hype about bipolar disorder. This seminar brings up-to-date evidence to the practical level: treating clients. No longer is the DSM-IV the clinical bible. Mood experts have gone well beyond these criteria to include non-manic bipolar markers in their diagnostic process -- and you should too. Learn a simple way of organizing at least 11 'soft signs' of bipolar disorder to make your assessments rigorous and convincing. No longer are mediations the sole ingredient of bipolar treatment. Learn about 3 bipolar specific psychotherapies which have been shown to improve patient outcomes more than medications alone -- and how to integrate them with your current psychotherapy approaches. Dr. Phelps will help you practice (safely) the use of these techniques and tools in a lively day of laughter and learning. You will emerge enthused and ready to use at least three new approaches with patients the very next day. The time has come for psychotherapy to stand alongside medication approaches in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Are you ready? This seminar will provide you with the understanding and tools to. Use up-to-date instruments like the Bipolarity Index developed at Harvard to organize and present your diagnostic findings. Differentiate bipolarity for anxiety disorders, ADHD, personality disorders, and substance use -- with an eye on treatment. Keep up to date with medication options and help patients choose among them collaboratively with their prescriber. Interact more directly with primary care and psychiatry colleagues based on your new understanding. Make bipolar disorders one of the conditions you routinely treat
