Bipolar disorder is associated with a significant impairment in overall functioning in work, social and family levels, even during periods of sustained and substantial remission. Social cognition implies those processes in "how individuals think about themselves, others, social situations and their interactions". This book reviews the social cognition deficits in bipolar disorder and its possible influence in psychosocial disadjustment.
