Use of self ‐care strategies in the management of bipolar disorder and their relationship to symptoms, illness intrusiveness, and quality of life
ConclusionsThis study provides support for strategies relating to sleep, and drug and alcohol abstinence, and for several strategies yet to be explored such as spending time with pets. Future studies should explore the use of these strategies longitudinally and how depression symptoms may mediate the relationship between the use of self‐care strategies, quality of life, and illness intrusiveness.

Alexithymia stability and therapeutic outcome in an Australian psychiatric outpatient sample
ConclusionsHigh baseline alexithymia does not present a therapeutic disadvantage for patients receiving cognitive‐behavioural group therapy. However, cognitive‐behavioural group therapy is somewhat effective at improving alexithymic features, and this improvement can provide symptom relief by the end of treatment. Thus, it may advantageous for clinicians to treat alexithymia in order to enhance therapeutic intervention. (Source: Clinical Psychologist)

Perinatal maternal mental health and disorganised attachment: A critical systematic review
ConclusionsMost non‐significant findings were reported in non‐clinical samples, while most positive findings were reported in clinical samples, suggesting that severity of mental disorder may be a critical factor. Further research on the relationship between disorganised attachment and chronic and severe maternal depression, psychotic, trauma, bipolar, and personality disorders is required.
