Treating Mania Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

(0.6 ceu)

6 hours CE credit: BRN, LCSW/MFT, and psychologists

An elective in the Professional Program in the Treatment of Mood Disorders

Bipolar disorder is associated with high rates of relapse, hospitalization, and suicide. In response to the severity of the disorder, treatment guidelines suggest providing adjunctive psychotherapy. Learn empirically supported techniques designed to reduce the manic symptoms of bipolar disorder. Your review uses well-established manuals that cover psychoeducation, life charting, and daily monitoring to identify triggers of manic symptoms and cognitive-behavioral strategies to reduce symptom triggers. You discuss these strategies within a motivational interviewing framework, placing a key emphasis on helping your clients accept and understand the need for change.
