Objective: Recent studies suggest that, when combined with pharmacotherapy, structured psychotherapy may modify the course of bipolar disorder. However, there are few studies that have examined the effects of cognitive behavioral group therapy on the course of this disorder.The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 14 sessions of cognitive behavioral group therapy, combined with pharmacotherapy, on the treatment of patients with bipolar disorder, and to compare our results against those from the use of pharmacotherapy alone. Method: Forty-one patients with bipolar I and II disorder participated in the study and were randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups; thirty-seven patients remained in the study until its completion. Mood and anxiety symptoms were measured in all subjects. Statistical analysis was used to investigate if the groups differed with respect to demographic characteristics and the scores recorded in the pre-and post-treatment stages, as well as during treatment (intra/inter groups

“…Cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT) is associated with fewer hospitalizations (2), longer time to depressive relapse (3), and fewer and shorter manic and depressive episodes (4). Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) is effective in improving occupational functioning (5), family therapy has been associated with longer time to relapse (6), while group-based psycho-education programs have also shown reduced rates of relapse over a 12-month follow-up period (7).…”

A randomized controlled trial of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder.Objective: To compare the efficacy of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) plus treatment as usual (TAU) to TAU alone for patients with bipolar disorder over a 12-month follow-up period. Method: Participants with a DSM-IV diagnosis of bipolar disorder were randomly allocated to either MBCT plus TAU or TAU alone. Primary outcome measures were time to recurrence of a DSM-IV major depressive, hypomanic or manic episode; the Montgomery-Å sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS); and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). Secondary outcome measures were number of recurrences, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS), and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Results: Ninety-five participants with bipolar disorder were recruited to the study (MBCT = 48; TAU = 47). Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis found no significant differences between the groups on either time to first recurrence of a mood episode or total number of recurrences over the 12-month period. Furthermore, there were no significant betweengroup differences on the MADRS or YMRS scales. A significant between-group difference was found in STAI -state anxiety scores. There was a significant treatment by time interaction for the DASachievement subscale. Conclusion: While MBCT did not lead to significant reductions in time to depressive or hypo/manic relapse, total number of episodes, or mood symptom severity at 12-month follow-up, there was some evidence for an effect on anxiety symptoms. This finding suggests a potential role of MBCT in reducing anxiety comorbid with bipolar disorder. Significant outcomes T. Perich• Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) significantly improved state anxiety for those diagnosed with bipolar disorder over a 12-month follow-up period.• Improvements were found in reducing dysfunctional attitudes surrounding ideas of achievement for those allocated to MBCT. Limitations• The small sample size and high drop-out rate over the 12-month follow-up period.• A shorter follow-up period than other published trials of MBCT. 333

“…Ball and colleagues conducted a randomized controlled trial of schema-focused CBT that made, besides the typical CBT techniques, use of emotive therapy techniques as for example imagery or reliving of early experiences [112]. In this study fifty-two bipolar patients have been randomized to either CBT plus mood stabilizers or treatment as usual (TAU) plus mood stabilizers.…”
