There is growing evidence that the course of Bipolar Affective Disorder (BAD) can be altered by psychotherapeutic approaches, such as Psychoeducation. Therefore, this study was performed with the objective of identifying the implications of a Psychoeducation group on the everyday lives of individuals with BAD. To do this, the authors chose to perform a qualitative case study. Participants included twelve individuals with BAD who had attended at least six meetings of the Psychoeducation Group held at the São José do Rio Preto Faculty of Medicine (FAMERP). Semi-structured interviews were performed, which were recorded and then transcribed and subjected to Thematic Analysis. The present study showed that the referred group experience promoted the individuals' knowledge acquisition; their awareness regarding the disease and adherence to treatment; their making positive changes in life; the possibility of helping other patients to benefit from the knowledge learned in the group; and their awareness regarding other realities and coping strategies, obtained by exchanging experiences with other participants.
越来越多的证据表明，双相情感障碍（BAD）的病程可以通过心理治疗方法（如心理教育）得到改变。因此，本研究旨在确定心理教育小组对双相情感障碍患者日常生活的影响。为此，作者选择进行一项定性案例研究。参与者包括12名双相情感障碍患者，他们参加了在圣若泽杜里奥普雷图医学院（FAMERP）举办的心理教育小组的至少六次会议。进行了半结构化访谈，访谈进行了录音，然后转录并进行了主题分析。本研究表明，上述小组经历促进了个体的知识获取；提高了他们对疾病的认识和对治疗的依从性；使他们在生活中做出积极改变；使他们有可能帮助其他患者从小组中学到的知识中受益；以及通过与其他参与者交流经验，提高了他们对其他现实情况和应对策略的认识。
