In patients with a bipolar disorder and well regulated lithium prophylaxis many psychological and social problems still remain. These can lead to non-compliance and relapse, which often increases the problems especially in the patient's direct environment. After group therapy, the self-confidence of 20 patients appeared to have improved compared with 14 control patients on the waiting-list for group therapy. The most important discovery for most of the patients was that their condition is not unique. They also gained the insight that they were potentially able to solve some of their problems themselves.
在患有双相情感障碍且锂盐预防性治疗控制良好的患者中，许多心理和社会问题仍然存在。这些问题可能导致治疗依从性不佳和病情复发，这往往会加剧问题，尤其是在患者的直接生活环境中。经过团体治疗后，与14名等待团体治疗的对照患者相比，20名患者的自信心似乎有所提高。对大多数患者来说，最重要的发现是他们的病情并非独一无二。他们还认识到自己有潜力自行解决一些问题。
