Abstract

Bipolar disorder is one of the major mental disorders leading to disability. This review aims to highlight the most effective psychotherapies used in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Across diverse schools of psychology, five psychotherapeutic approaches have emerged as both highly utilized and effective. These are interpersonal social rhythm therapy, psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family-focused therapy and mindfulness therapy. Multiple randomized controlled trials focusing on these psychotherapeutic interventions have provided strong evidence of their effectiveness when delivered alongside standard care. The results suggest that these approaches have a constructive role to play as adjunctive models of psychotherapy in the management of bipolar disorder. While the available evidence is robust, further randomized clinical trials are needed. Expanding these studies to sub-areas such as geriatrics and adolescents would provide more detailed information on the feasibility and efficacy of these psychotherapies among different demographic groups.

Bipolar Bozukluk Tedavisinde Uygulanan Psikoterapiler

Abstract

Bipolar bozukluk, yetiyitimine yol açan önemli ruhsal bozukluklardan biridir. Bu derleme, bipolar bozukluğun tedavisinde kullanılan en etkili psikoterapileri vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Farklı psikoloji ekolleri arasında, beş psikoterapi yaklaşımının hem yüksek oranda kullanıldığı hem de etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Bunlar; kişilerarası sosyal ritim terapisi, psikoeğitim, bilişsel-davranışçı terapi, aile odaklı terapi ve farkındalık terapisidir. Bu psikoterapötik müdahalelere odaklanan çok sayıda randomize kontrollü çalışma, standart bakımla birlikte uygulandıklarında etkinliklerine ilişkin güçlü kanıtlar sunmuştur. Sonuçlar, bu yaklaşımların bipolar bozukluğun yönetiminde yardımcı psikoterapi modelleri olarak yapıcı bir rol oynadıklarını göstermektedir. Mevcut kanıtlar sağlam olmakla birlikte, daha fazla randomize klinik çalışmaların yapılmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu araştırmaların geriatri ve ergenler gibi alt alanlara genişletilmesi, bu psikoterapilerin farklı demografik gruplar arasında uygulanabilirliği ve etkinliği hakkında daha detaylı bir bilgi sağlayacaktır.
