William O. Selig, PsyD, MFA, is a clinical psychologist practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area. He earned his doctorate from the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium, writing his dissertation on bipolar disorder and creativity at Stanford University's Bipolar Disorders Clinic. He co-led a 2014 revision of the psychotherapy for bipolar disorder treatment track at Kaiser Permanente Psychiatry & Behavioral Health in Oakland, California, where he later cofounded the dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) program.
Dr. Selig's book synthesizes complex ideas and organizes them into a digestible, thoughtful, and practical book. It is clear that the author genuinely understands the challenges that loved ones face in navigating the impact of bipolar disorder on their partner, their family, and themselves. This book should be required reading. --Timothy Barry, LCSW When Your Partner Has Bipolar Disorder is a comprehensive and easy-to-read resource for the loved ones of those navigating bipolar disorder.
