New for 2008:
Comprehensive Treatment of Children and Adolescents
with Bipolar Disorder
Earn 6 CE/CME Hours
 This exciting workshop provides an in-depth look at the most recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of bipolar spectrum disorders in children and
adolescents. Dr. Chang discusses how to make a proper diagnosis, and summarizes current research, including the results of several new and potentially
important studies. He also reviews medication options, and discusses products currently available as well as those currently in development. The latter portion of
the program focuses on concrete psychotherapeutic and educational interventions. Treatment of co-morbid conditions is also discussed.
The liberal use of case material underscores Dr. Chang’s belief in the
importance of an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to treatment. Dr. Chang is a gifted speaker with a warm, personal presentation style. Learners will
thoroughly enjoy this home study, and will gain practical understandings and techniques they will be able to apply immediately in their own practices.
