Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A randomized controlled trial of cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder: focus on long-term change.
This study reports the outcome of a randomized controlled trial of cognitive therapy (CT) for bipolar disorder. The treatment protocol differed from other published forms of CT for bipolar disorder through the addition of emotive techniques. ⋯ Our findings corroborate previous bipolar disorder research in demonstrating the value of CT, particularly immediately post-treatment, and indicate some continuation (albeit diminishing) of benefits in the succeeding 12 months. These findings suggest that psychological booster sessions may be crucial for maintaining the beneficial effects of cognitive therapy.
