The aim of this study was to assess the importance of addressing psychoeducational and existential issues in group therapy for patients with bipolar disorder.
The group consisted of 10 bipolar patients. Group sessions were held for 2 hours weekly for 3 months and then monthly up to 2 years. Group topics focused on psychoeducation, cognition and existential issues.
Over 2 years, two members had a minor relapse that did not require hospitalization. Adherence with pharmacotherapy and follow up was 100%. All members reported significant improvements in family and social function and nine members remained employed in full-time jobs. There was a high level of satisfaction with the group process.
Addressing existential and psychosocial issues in bipolar disorder group therapy may improve outcome. This approach deserves further thorough investigation.
本研究旨在评估在双相情感障碍患者的团体治疗中解决心理教育和生存问题的重要性。
该团体由10名双相情感障碍患者组成。团体治疗每周进行2小时，为期3个月，之后每月进行一次，持续2年。团体治疗主题聚焦于心理教育、认知和生存问题。
在2年期间，两名成员出现轻微复发，但无需住院治疗。药物治疗依从性和随访率均为100%。所有成员均报告家庭和社会功能有显著改善，9名成员仍全职工作。对团体治疗过程的满意度较高。
在双相情感障碍团体治疗中解决生存和心理社会问题可能会改善治疗效果。这种方法值得进一步深入研究。
