J. Neurocognitive deficits
K. maintaining treatment alliance must remain principal objective throughout all phases; during manic phase, no formal psychotherapies have been demonstrated to be useful; during depressed phase, cognitive- behavioural therapy or interpersonal and social rhythms therapy should be considered; substantial evidence suggests role for family therapy intervention in selected cases; and psychoeducation can be valuable tool in promoting therapeutic alliance and collaborative approach
