Psychosocial approaches to the treatment of bipolar disorder

Abstract
The limitations of management by medication alone in the treatment of bipolar disorder have become more apparent, and therefore the use of adjunctive psychotherapy has been explored. Several such forms of psychotherapy have been developed, including cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, psychoeducational, and family therapies. This review focuses on recent empirical studies of psychosocial approaches to the management of bipolar disorder.
