简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine whether it is feasible to deliver a 9-session compassionate-focused therapy for older people with bipolar disorder. Participants will be asked to complete baseline measures and at post-intervention follow-up (12 weeks and 24 weeks) to understand any potential clinical benefits of the therapy.
详细描述
The present study will evaluate the feasibility of a compassionate-focused intervention targeting rumination that is specifically tailored for older people with bipolar disorder. In addition to evaluating its feasibility, the study will also investigate whether there are any clinical benefits associated with the intervention, namely, any potential reductions in negative rumination and feelings of guilt and shame. To date, there has been no research evaluating the feasibility of this type of intervention.
