Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) as an Early Intervention for Bipolar Disorder. Is it more beneficial than Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

本研究将比较认知补救疗法（CRT）和认知行为疗法（CBT）对双相情感障碍的早期干预。CRT是一种由训练有素的心理学家辅助的计算机任务治疗形式。其目的是改善客户在处理认知任务时使用的策略。例如，客户经过培训，可以更好地掌握任务需要多少时间，并相应地调整他们的处理方式。所开发的技能已被证明可以改善神经认知功能，所使用的策略可以转移到现实生活中的任务中。迄今为止，对双相情感障碍的crt研究已被证明是积极的。目前治疗双相情感障碍的主要方法是CBT。CBT是一种治疗形式，包括与心理学家讨论思想、行为、感觉和生理感觉，以提高他们对自己的理解，以及他们对事件和感受的反应。研究表明，CBT对双相情感障碍患者并不是特别有益。本研究旨在观察crt与CBT的比较，以及这对未来双相情感障碍早期干预可能产生的影响。

This research will compare Cognitive Remediation Therapy(CRT) to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for earlyinterventions in bipolar disorder. CRT is a form of therapythat involves computer tasks aided by a trainedpsychologist. The aim is to improve strategies used byclients when approaching cognitive tasks. For example,clients are trained to have a better grasp of how much timea task will take and adjust how they approach itaccordingly. The skills developed have been shown toimprove neurocognitive functioning and the strategies usedcan be transferred to real life tasks. Research to date onCRT for bipolar has been shown to be positive. The currentmain treatment for bipolar disorder is CBT. CBT is a form oftherapy which involves discussing thoughts, behaviours,feelings and physiological sensations with a psychologist inorder to improve their understanding of themselves, howthey react to events and their feelings. Research has shownthat CBT isn't particularly beneficial to people with bipolardisorder. This proposed study aims to see how CRTcompares to CBT and the possible implications this mayhave for future early interventions in bipolar disorder.
