Feasibility Evaluation of an Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy Group Delivery Model
Open accessAbstract
The effectiveness of psychotherapies, such as interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT), is supported by randomized controlled trials. These trials provide minimal direction regarding feasibility of psychotherapy delivery models. The study purpose was to identify factors facilitating implementation and sustainability of an IPRST group for patients with bipolar disorder. Qualitative data were assessed by the normalization process model (NPM). The results demonstrate feasibility of implementation with experienced clinicians, program coordination, and leadership support. Sustainability challenges include aftercare groups, space, and clinician time. The NPM provides a useful framework for evaluation of factors influencing the feasibility of psychotherapy delivery models.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
