Keeping therapies simple: psychoeducation in the prevention of relapse in affective disorders

Francesc Colom. Br J Psychiatry. 2011 May.

Abstract

Psychological interventions for mood disorders can be divided into 'skilled' and 'simple'. Psychoeducation belongs to the latter group: a simple and illness-focused therapy with prophylactic efficacy in all major mood disorders. Successful implementation of psychoeducation requires a proper setting, including open-door policy, team effort and empowerment of the therapeutic alliance.
