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是一种治疗方法，它涉及由训练有素的心理学家辅助的计算机任务。其目的是改善客户在处理认知任务时使用的策略。例如，客户接受培训，以更好地掌握任务需要多长时间，并相应地调整他们的方法。这些技能已经被证明可以改善神经认知功能，并且所使用的策略可以转移到真实的生活任务中。迄今为止，双极CRT的研究结果是积极的。目前治疗双相情感障碍的主要方法是认知行为疗法。CBT是一种治疗形式，涉及与心理学家讨论思想，行为，感受和生理感觉，以提高他们对自己的理解，他们对事件的反应和他们的感受。研究表明，CBT对双相情感障碍患者并不是特别有益。这项研究旨在了解CRT与CBT的比较，以及这对未来双相情感障碍早期干预的可能影响。

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.
