It's twenty years old but it's still the best/practically only book of its kind: basically a giant, blisteringly dull and colossally thorough version of Robert Burton, but much more boring. Come on, guys, update this fucker. I've been rereading it since 1990 and I want at least a new typeface, if not a few handsome color plates. Oh, and you might finally join the DSM-V and give up and call it bipolar disorder, too.

EDITED TO ADD that I am a giant dork: the second edition came out in 2007.

Kay Redfield Jamison is one of my heroes. For many reasons. But in part because this manual of abnormal psychology is so well written.

This is a textbook and excellent source for definitive information and education related to Bipolar Disorder.
