The book (much recommended): Treating Bipolar Disorder: A Clinician's Guide to Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (Guides to Individualized Evidence-Based Treatment): 9781593854652: Medicine & Health Science Books @ Amazon.com
The website (clinician-oriented): Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy | Home
This rhythms therapy appears to be the only scientifically validated therapy method that is specific for Bipolar Disorder.
Would anybody be interested in working together on building daily and weekly rhythms to improve stability?
I will start: on Saturdays I make two pots of soup and refrigerate for the week ahead.
