To undertake a critical review of the literature on emotional processing (EP) in bipolar patients in remission. This literature review focuses on a number of dimensions of EP including facial emotion recognition, emotional memory, affective theory of mind (ToM), affective attention and affective auditory information processing.
A systematic search was conducted through PsychINFO and Medline databases to obtain relevant literature. Studies that include behavioural measures of EP were included.
The findings from this review demonstrate that bipolar disorder (BD) patients continue to exhibit some EP deficits during euthymic phases. A number of factors believed to contribute to such findings have been highlighted.
This review has shed light on some of the conflicting findings reported in the literature and thus offers a more comprehensive profile of euthymic bipolar patients' EP abilities. This information could enrich clinicians' therapeutic efforts to minimise relapse by attending to euthymic bipolar patients' specific emotional processing difficulties.
对缓解期双相情感障碍患者的情绪处理（EP）文献进行批判性回顾。本文献综述重点关注 EP 的若干维度，包括面部情绪识别、情绪记忆、情感心理理论（ToM）、情感注意和情感听觉信息处理。
通过 PsychINFO 和 Medline 数据库进行系统检索，以获取相关文献。纳入了包括行为测量的 EP 的研究。
本综述的结果表明，双相情感障碍（BD）患者在缓解期仍表现出一些 EP 缺陷。已经强调了一些被认为促成这些发现的因素。
本综述阐明了文献中一些相互矛盾的发现，从而更全面地描述了缓解期双相情感障碍患者的 EP 能力。这些信息可以丰富临床医生的治疗努力，通过关注缓解期双相情感障碍患者的特定情绪处理困难，最大限度地减少复发。
