The Bipolar Teen: What You Can Do to Help Your Child and Your Family
by David J. Miklowitz
from The Guilford Press
Bipolar disorder is difficult at any age, but it can be particularly daunting for teenagers and their families. David Miklowitz, author of the bestselling Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide, provides invaluable information parents can use to help teens cope--and thrive. His adolescent bipolar treatment program has been tested and refined for a decade. Now for the first time, this book makes it available directly to parents. The Bipolar Teen helps parents distinguish between the typical ups and downs of teen life and the symptoms of mania or depression. With coauthor Elizabeth George, Dr. Miklowitz shows parents how to recognize the early warning signs of an episode so they can intervene before it's too late. They show how to strike a healthy balance of medications and psychotherapy, and offer practical tips for getting the most from doctors and from school programs. Crucially, they also demonstrate practical strategies for managing the chaos at home so every family member--including siblings without the illness--can find the stability and support they need. A dozen helpful reproducibles are included.

Problematic Behaviors During Adolescence
by Jeffrey J. Haugaard
from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages
Adolescent Psychology courses often touch on problematic behaviors but rarely delve into the complex causes of these behaviors. Dr. Jeffrey Haugaard has written the only text to examine some of the most prevalent problematic behavior and provides students with a model for understanding the causes of such behavior. Dr. Haugaard uses college-aged individuals in chapter opening cases to draw students into the content of the chapter. The focus of the text is understanding the complex factors that contribute to developing behavior.
The book is designed to be used as a supplemental text in an Adolescent Psychology course where the instructor is interested in examining the causes behind the behavior. It could also be used in a graduate Adolescent Psychopathology course.
