Abstract

The partners of 14 bipolar-manic patients attending psychoeducation sessions were compared with 12 controls. After the sessions and 6 months later they showed more knowledge of the disease, medication and social strategies. Patient compliance did not change over the next year. The risk of this procedure is the initially increased level of anxiety of the patients.
