Este libro aborda los avances más recientes con la neurobiología, la psicopatología y el tratamiento del trastorno bipolar. Todo el equipo del Programa de Trastornos Bipolares del Hospital Clínico Universitario de Barcelona, vinculado a los centros de excelencia en investigación IDIBAPS y CIBERSAM, ha realizado un gran esfuerzo para ofrecer una información actual, rigurosa y veraz, sobre los aspectos que más interesan a los clínicos que tienen, entre sus responsabilidades, el cuidado y el tratamiento de personas que sufren un trastorno bipolar. El equipo está formado por profesionales jóvenes pero con amplia experiencia y dedicación específi ca a dicha enfermedad, tanto desde el punto de vista asistencial, como investigador y docente. Nuestro Programa atiende a más de 700 pacientes con trastorno bipolar, contribuye de forma significativa al progreso del conocimiento sobre el mismo en aspectos neurobiológicos, clínicos y terapéuticos, y acoge a profesionales en formación de distintos orígenes, tanto residentes en Psiquiatría como psiquiatras que desean conocer más a fondo la complejidad clínica del trastorno o los aspectos organizativos del Programa. Con este curso aspiramos a expandir más nuestra capacidad docente, compartir nuestros conocimientos fruto de una gran especialización, y contribuir a la mejora de la capacidad diagnóstica y terapéutica de muchos clínicos que, en virtud de su ámbito de trabajo, necesitan conocer los aspectos nucleares de ésta y otras enfermedades mentales, sin que resulte pertinente su especialización en una de ellas. A lo largo de las próximas páginas se tratarán aspectos relacionados con los avances clínicos (como por ejemplo, en la detección de la comorbilidad), las disfunciones cognitivas, los progresos en el análisis de la eficacia y la seguridad de los fármacos utilizados en el tratamiento del trastorno bipolar, las novedades terapéuticas y por supuesto las cuestiones relativas al cumplimiento terapéutico y las intervenciones psicoeducativas. Finalmente se ofrece una visión panorámica del momento actual de la investigación en esta área y los retos que plantea el futuro. Confiamos en que el libro resulte atractivo para todos aquellos que tienen el privilegio de ayudar a otros seres humanos a mejorar su salud mental.

This timely practical reference addresses the lack of Spanish-language resources for mental health professionals to use with their Latino clients. Geared toward both English- and Spanish-speaking practitioners in a variety of settings, this volume is designed to minimize misunderstandings between the clinician and client, and with that the possibility of inaccurate diagnosis and/or ineffective treatment. Coverage for each topic features a discussion of cultural considerations, guidelines for evidence-based best practices, a review of available findings, a treatment plan, plus clinical tools and client handouts, homework sheets, worksheets, and other materials. Chapters span a wide range of disorders and problems over the life-course, and include reproducible resources for: Assessing for race-based trauma. Using behavioral activation and cognitive interventions to treat depression among Latinos. Treating aggression, substance use, abuse, and dependence among Latino Adults. Treating behavioral problems among Latino adolescents. Treating anxiety among Latino children. Working with Latino couples. Restoring legal competency with Latinos. The Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients fills a glaring need in behavioral service delivery, offering health psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other helping professionals culturally-relevant support for working with this under served population. The materials included here are an important step toward dismantling barriers to mental health care.
