Brief Summary: Cognitive remediation CR is a new psychological treatment which aims to improve cognitive function and coping skills Several studies have recently demonstrated that CR improves cognitive and occupational function in patients with schizophrenia and with depression eg Wykes et al 2007 Elgamal et al 2007 However it is unclear whether CR improves cognitive and socio-occupational function in individuals with bipolar disorder BD and if so what impact this might have on these peoples abilities in terms of work coping strategies quality of life and everyday safety

The aim of the present PhD study is to investigate if CR has beneficial effects on cognitive and socio-occupational function in patients with previous mania and depression who experience persistent cognitive difficulties Such effects would suggest implementation of CR in future treatment of bipolar disorder in order to facilitate the patients ability to cope with the responsibilities related to work and everyday life The hypotheses of the present study are that CR in comparison to standard treatment will 1 improve verbal learning and recall and 2 improve sustained attention executive function and psychosocial function
