Five studies of Psychoeducation (PE); four studies of Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT); four studies of Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT); three studies of Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and two studies of Schema therapy (ST) were. The usefulness of PE and CBT were proven for the relapse prevention of mania episodes, the enhancement of quality of life, and medication adherence, the usefulness of DBT was proven in increasing quality of life and decreasing impulsivity.
