Interventions
BEHAVIORAL

EMDR therapy

EMDR: We designed a specific EMDR Bipolar Protocol which consists of a detailed interview with respect to traumatic events, the treatment of those with the EMDR standard protocol, and five new specific bipolar adapted EMDR protocols focusing on adherence, insight, de-idealisation of manic symptoms, prodromal symptoms and moodstabilization.

BEHAVIORAL

Supportive Therapy

Supportive therapy: Therapists adopt a client-centred focus, meaning that whatever problems the patient presents will be dealt with by providing emotional support and general advise. If no specific topic is mentioned by the patient, information about bipolar disorder and medication will be delivered by the therapist without referring to written or any other material.
