"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, PhD, UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA "This book is peppered with brilliant and intimate accounts of the personal journeys of Dr. Last, her patients, and their loving families.

Fristad, PhD, ABPP, coauthor ofRaising a Moody Child, "Some of the most common emails we receive are from significant others of those who have bipolar disorder. These are from husbands and wives, lovers and friends, parents and children who just want to help, be there for the person they love. But they don''t know how. For these people, I highly recommend When Someone You Love Is Bipolar ....Dr. Last is a practicing clinical psychologist, which means she has frontline experience with those who have bipolar disorder and their loved ones. Also, she has bipolar II disorder herself. The foreword of the book is written by her husband. I found it touching to read the compromises he''s made to help their marriage and how they''ve tacked this together. Dr. Last''s work is organized and easy to read....The call-outs, bold headings, and detailed index make the book an excellent quick-reference resource....Another great facet...is the extensive inventory of tools....Regardless of your loved ones participation, you will find this book to be a valuable resource."--About.com, "Relationships struggle and frequently fail when a partner suffers with bipolar disorder. A self-reported sufferer of the disorder, clinical psychologist Dr. Cynthia Last brings twenty years of experience and hope to readers who love those who are bipolar or struggle with it themselves....Included are practical, down to earth strategies."--ForeWord Reviews, "A critically important book if ever we (the professionals) are to expand our commitment to the many lives/relationships that are touched, possibly destroyed, by Bipolar Disorder."--World Pastoral Care Center Glimpses "Part reference and part self-help guide, the book includes checklists, charts, scales, and strategies....The strongest chapter features detailed information about psychotropic medication, helping partners understand what the medications do and what the side effects are. A list of recommended books, organizations, and Internet sites is included....Fact filled and loaded with advice."--Library Journal "Vignettes of couples dealing with a bipolar partner and Q&A sections from non-bipolar partners add to the book's focus and ease of reading." -- NAMIAdvocatee-newsletter , "This book is peppered with brilliant and intimate accounts of the personal journeys of Dr. Last, her patients, and their loving families.
