Psychotherapy for patients with bipolar disorder
Melba Alvarez Martinez
National Institute of Psychiatry Ramon de la Fuente Muniz, Mexico
Due to the increase of patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder as well as the increase of suicides due to this condition, it is
important to point out the therapeutic objectives that can be focused throughout the treatment. Thus, based on psycho-
analytic Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramon de la Fuente Muniz, literature and institutional clinical experience, some
useful psychotherapeutic objectives and strategies that support pharmacological treatment are proposed, for example: The
regulation and control of impulses and affects, promote autonomy and self-sufficiency, analyze aspects of identity (subjectivity),
encourage self-observation and self-evaluation and promote social and work rehabilitation activities. On the other hand, it has
been observed that recreational and/or artistic activities promote the expression of affects as well as the psychic pain that some
of the patients present due to traumatic experiences experienced at some point of their existence.
