of individual cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder showed
positive outcomes at 1 - year follow - up, but the benefits were reduced over time, suggesting the need for booster sessions to sustain the gains.19 As with many forms

of a post-hoc analysis suggested that CBT was effective for participants who reported fewer than 12 prior episodes
of illness and were not acutely unwell when therapy began;

of mania rather than depression seemed to predict treatment response.32 Such data can help guide the clinical application
of CBT for bipolar patients.
