Encouraging curiosity about evidence-based psychological treatments for #BipolarDisorder from one of the world-leaders in the area Greg Murray #ASBDD22 A SWeeTO analysis of the literature. Strengths, weeknesses, threats, and opportunities. Swinburne University of Technology

Strengths: They work! Evidence for adjunctive psychotherapy - #Psychoeducation, #CBT, family-focused therapy, and interpersonal & Social rhythm therapy. These interventions are broad - tmt and relapse prevention, delivered with a hopeful stance. #ASBDD22

Weaknesses: We have a limited understanding of them. #psychological research in #BipolarDisorder is still immature compared to other #MentalHealth conditions. Studies dominated by small, efficacy studies that focus on short-term outcomes Greg Murray #ASBDD22

Threats: Evaluation paradigm fit-for-purpose. Being nieve to tmt is key to pharma RCTs, but not psychotherapies. Psychological interventions are fundamentally different - why are we using the same methodology? is the answer in complex intervention evaluation? #ABSDD22 Greg Murray

Opportunity: Sea change in mental health research and practice - the field is finally recognising the central role of the ‘person’ and not just the disorder. Thought provoking and invigorating talk by Greg Murray #ASBDD22 ASBDD EMCR
