Bipolar disorder, originally called manic depressive disorder, is a severe mood disorder that vacillates between extreme "ups" (mania, hypomania) and "downs" (depression). The effects of having bipolar disorder can be observed across the patients social and occupational functioning. Often the patient is left isolated from work, friends, and family. Medications have become the first-line treatments for bipolar disorder; however, psychotherapy can offer additional benefits in the ongoing treatment of patients with bipolar disorder. This paper discusses the symptoms and treatment of bipolar disorder focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion focused therapy.

Health Care Costs and Health Care Quality "What is the National Quality Strategy?" (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2012) and "What's the price of health care?" (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2012), both authored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, assist the vital discussion of national health care issues. "What is the National Quality Strategy?" sets forth our government's 3 goals for national health care, supported by six national priorities. Aimed at "Better Care," "Healthy people and communities," and "Affordable care," the Strategy set the six priorities of "Reducing harm to patients,: "Facilitating more coordination and communication," "Empowering patients," "Implementing evidence-based prevention and treatment plans," "promoting health behaviors and environments," and "Developing and using new delivery models." By setting out these goals and priorities in a simple format that can be readily understood by consumers, this article can assist health care policy providers by dissemination to the public and by giving clear-cut steps for the developer's approach to local health care in line with national health care. Simultaneously, "What's the price of health care?" addresses transparency in health care costs, both illustrating its importance and showing several states' attempts to collect and disseminate information about health care costs. By illustrating the importance of transparency and the states' attempts to increase cost transparency while assessing the effectiveness of these programs, this article can assist the health care policy developer in effectively joining the national movement toward transparency by encouraging his/her own state's involvement and by actively improving the quality and quantity of data. Both articles illustrate the value and importance of dialogue about the national Strategy and steps to attain its goals.

Alcohol (and other drugs) abuse is not just a problem of an individual but that of the whole society. This implies that the whole society has a role to play in the rehabilitation of the people who resort to drug abuse when they find it hard to put up with the ups and downs of life. Particularly, the counselors working at the rehabilitation center have a major role to play when it comes to restoring the independence and normalcy in an addict's life. 1. Personal Vision and Learning During the course of my degree, I have acquired vast amount of knowledge on how a counselor should go about when he or she is dealing with an alcohol (or any other substance) abuser. It is not only just about counseling the residents of the rehabilitation center to give up on the drugs, but also about various aspects of that person's personality and role in the community. I believe that it is vital for a counselor to understand and respect the individuality of a person and the uniqueness of a community before he goes ahead with his professional tasks of counseling, within the ethical principles of the profession.

The status of Women in the 1950s was separate and unequal. In the aftermath of World War II, when women had to fill manufacturing jobs to help win the war, the first seeds for the subsequent feminist movement of the late 60s and early 70s were planted; however, it would take another generation coming of age to shrug off the shackles of Betty Friedman's feminine mystique. While the political and social changes ushered in by the feminist movement were no less than revolutionary, these successes fostered the growth of a political right determined to reverse these advances.
