Psychotherapeutic treatments in patients with bipolar and schizoaffective disorders: A meta-analytic review

Objective: To analyze scientific publications on bipolarity and schizophrenia to detect both pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments that have been applied in the last five years (2018- 2022). Method: A quantitative method was applied, under the bibliometric research approach. The PRISMA method was used for this purpose. The search variables and the construction of the equations with their respective Booleans were defined. The database used was the Web of Science (WOS). After filtering by applying exclusion and inclusion criteria, a total of 23 documents were obtained for analysis. Results: The results indicate that treatments for bipolar and schizophrenia need to be traceable, considering history, sex, age, and response to traditional treatments, and that alternative and complementary therapies that contribute to the patient’s quality of life can be tested. Conclusions: Treatments based on cognitive behavioral therapy, as a complementary treatment to pharmacological application, improve the disposition for incorporation into the natural routine.
