Relapse Prevention in Patients With Bipolar Disorder: Cognitive Therapy Outcome After 2 Years

Lam, Dominic H., Hayward, Peter, Watkins, Edward R., Wright, Kim, Sham, Pak·2005·American Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

Objective In a previous randomized controlled study, the authors reported significant beneficial effects of cognitive therapy for relapse prevention in bipolar disorder patients up to 1 year. This study reports additional 18-month follow-up data and presents an overview of the effect of therapy over 30 months. Method Patients with DSM-IV bipolar I disorder (N=103) suffering from frequent relapses were randomly assigned into a cognitive therapy plus medication group or a control condition of medication only. Independent raters, who were blind to patient group status, assessed patients at 6-month intervals. Results Over 30 months, the cognitive therapy group had significantly better outcome in terms of time to relapse. However, the effect of relapse prevention was mainly in the first year. The cognitive therapy group also spent 110 fewer days (95% CI=32 to 189) in bipolar episodes out of a total of 900 for the whole 30 months and 54 fewer days (95% CI=3 to 105) in bipolar episodes out of a total of 450 for the last 18 months. Multivariate analyses of variance showed that over the last 18 months, the cognitive therapy group exhibited significantly better mood ratings, social functioning, coping with bipolar prodromes, and dysfunctional goal attainment cognition. Conclusions Patients in the cognitive therapy group had significantly fewer days in bipolar episodes after the effect of medication compliance was controlled. However, the results showed that cognitive therapy had no sig…

  • CBT limitations have been identified, particularly high dropout rates, relapse prevention, and difficulties in maintaining the focus of treatment on positive symptoms after remission.

    “Nevertheless, despite the considerable body of evidence concerning CBT efficacy for the psychosis continuum (e.g., Wykes et al., 2008;Thase, Kingdon, & Turnington, 2014), CBT limitations have been identified, particularly regarding high dropout rates (Startup, Jackson, Evans, & Bendix, 2005), relapse prevention (Garety et al., 2008;Lam, Hayward, Watkins, Wright, & Sham, 2005), and difficulties in”

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.
