Abstract
El trastorno bipolar es un trastorno crónico e incapacitante para muchas personas. Su abordaje ha sido clásicamente farmacológico (litio), aunque en los últimos años se ha demostrado que su combinación con distintos tratamientos psicológicos permite una mayor mejoría en estas personas. Se analizan los estudios existentes con los distintos tratamientos psicológicos que se han utilizado: psicoeducación y programas para mejorar la adherencia a la medicación, terapia marital y familiar, terapia cognitiva-conductual, terapia interpersonal y del ritmo social y los tratamientos de los pacientes bipolares que tienen asociado un trastorno de abuso de sustancias. Los tres primeros tratamientos son eficaces y se pueden considerar tratamientos bien establecidos; el último de ellos puede considerarse en fase experimental por no haber suficiente evidencia de su eficacia a pesar de sus positivos iniciales resultados. Otras terapias no han mostrado su eficacia en este trastorno
