Studies were identified through MEDLINE and PsycINFO
searches as well as existing reviews (7–9). The search terms included
psychotherapy, psychosocial treatment, family therapy,
individual therapy, group therapy, and psychoeducation. A total
of 18 randomized trials were published between 1984 and 2008.
One additional wait-list trial evaluated multifamily groups for
youth with bipolar disorder and major depression, but the symptomatic
outcomes have not yet been reported (10). Four general
categories of psychotherapy were identified: psychoeducational
(individual, group, and systematic care), family, cognitive-behavioral
therapy, and interpersonal (Table 1).
