Treatments for children with bipolar disorder are limited. Psychosocial interventions are considered essential to improve overall functioning, but evidence-based treatments are scarce. We present results from 2 children treated with an expanded version of individual family psychoeducational psychotherapy (PEP; Fristad, 2006). Children's Global Assessment Scale scores and 3 of 4 mood scales improved after treatment. Parents and children reported improved family interactions. Parental attitudes toward treatment improved. Consumer evaluations indicated parents and children found the intervention length to be appropriate; benefits were noted in child and family functioning and interfacing with the child's school. Additional evaluation of PEP appears warranted.
双相情感障碍儿童的治疗方法有限。心理社会干预被认为对改善整体功能至关重要,但基于证据的治疗方法却很稀缺。我们展示了2名接受扩展版个体家庭心理教育心理治疗(PEP;弗里斯塔德,2006年)治疗的儿童的治疗结果。治疗后,儿童的总体评估量表得分以及4个情绪量表中的3个得到了改善。家长和孩子报告称家庭互动有所改善。家长对治疗的态度也有所改善。消费者评估表明,家长和孩子认为干预时长合适;在儿童和家庭功能以及与孩子学校的联系方面都有积极效果。对PEP进行进一步评估似乎很有必要。
