Although the mainstay of bipolar therapy is drug treatment,
psychoeducation is a technique that has proven to be very effective
as an add-on to medication, helping to reduce the number of all
types of bipolar recurrences and hospitalisation. The object is to
improve patients' understanding of the disorder and therefore their
adherence to pharmacotherapy. Based on the highly successful,
evidence-based Barcelona program, this book is a pragmatic,
therapists' guide for how to implement psychoeducation for bipolar
patients. It gives practical guidance for how to conduct a
psychoeducation group, using sessions and cases drawn from the
Barcelona Psychoeducation Program. Moreover, it provides the reader
with a great amount of practical tips and tricks and specific
techniques to maximize the benefits of bipolar psychoeducation. The
authors formed the first group to show the efficacy of
psychoeducation as a maintenance treatment and have a long history
of performing bipolar psychoeducation.
