Abstract

Bipolar disorder is one of the most serious psychiatric disorders that has recurrent and sometimes chronic nature. Metacognitive therapy is a new treatment for this population with promising results from the previous studies reported. A clinical case report referring to a 35-year old male suffering from bipolar disorder is presented describing the stages of metacognitive therapy. Firstly, a case formulation is produced evaluating strategies and how they backfire and maintain symptoms. Afterwards, the patients’ negative and positive metacognitive beliefs about uncontrollability and the usefulness of worrying and ruminating are restructured. Further larger scale investigations are needed to further document the effect of metacognitive therapy for bipolar disorder.
