Excerpt

Psychotherapy has a long history in the treatment of mood disorders. Only in the past 20 years have manualized psychotherapies been submitted to empirical evaluation in randomized trials. In this chapter, we highlight several methods that have been found to be effective in unipolar and bipolar disorders: cognitive therapy, interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, family-based interventions (including family focused therapy), and group psychotherapy. Although the coverage is not exhaustive, the reader will see common threads in the way that mood disorders are approached in psychotherapy.
