Abstract

This paper provides a selected review of recent studies highlighting key aspects of mood disorders research. Cognitive models and clinical trials of cognitive therapy of depression are evolving and adapting to increase applicability to the spectrum of depressive symptoms and syndromes experienced by clients, as well exploring beyond acute phase treatment to relapse prevention. In contrast, cognitive models of bipolar disorders and the effectiveness of the therapy are unclear and there are more questions than answers for researchers in this area.
