Bipolar disorder is misunderstood by many and difficult to diagnose. Many of us living with a close friend or loved one with this disease find ourselves trying to escape hell without abandoning the individual altogether. Marlee's book gives insightful tools for coping with and understanding elements of this disease. Bipolar is not just someone flying off a building or crying for weeks on end. It is often the disease of verbal abusers, and until this disease is better treated and understood, we will contintue to abuse and be abused. Marlee gives us a path to enlightenment.

This book is for those significant others whose loved ones suffer from Bipolar. Significant Others, are you lost in a world full of medical terminology without clear, concise, operational answers to your concerns for the welfare of your loved ones as well as yourself? If you have picked up every medical journal, every professional article, every documentation stating the symtomology factors pertaining to manic/depression, and still feel overwhelmed, uninformed, and empty-handed, this book is FOR YOU. This book is inspirational to those who suffer the wrath that those with Bipolar unintentionally impose on their loved ones. It is a step-by-step thorough guide for co-victims of this disorder to recognize the patterns of destructive behavior their loved ones endure, and how to respond appropriately to the manifestations of such behavior. I have been in a relationship with a loved one for several years, enduring the cycles of destructive behavior my husband would often project upon me, leaving me feeling guilty, hurt, abused, and neglected. After reading this book, I feel as though I am strong enough to face this illness with him, instead of running away, which is probably what a lot of co-victims of such disorder would like to do. This book allows the reader to see the person beyond the illness, and that there is help and hope, and that not one single person should ever have to suffer the effects of this mental illness alone. This book will provide the coping strategies to overcome such obstacles that mental illness will often present, and how such strategies will affect the loved one's perception and treatment toward the co-victim, who is suffering as much as the ill person (him)herself.
Take a chance, buy the book, and you will never look at Bipolar quite the same again.
Good luck and God Bless.

The proven co-management techniques and honest insights into dealing with someone with bipolar are great. And so is customer service. I highly recommend this book.

I looked for the information contained in this book everywhere. It's been a great help in dealing with my loved one's bipolar. Don't know why C Johnson would make such a comment. But the book says not to share it with someone who has bipolar as he/she won't like it.

What a ripoff! There are approximately 130 pages of text followed by a quiz and charts. The text consists of common sense thinking that most of us already possess. This is definitely not worth the $60 price tag (includes shipping). Save your money for more worthwhile books.
