title: NICE guidance on psychological treatments for bipolar disorder: searching for the evidence.
abstract: The recent National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines for bipolar disorder offer a number of recommendations for the psychological treatment of bipolar disorder. Scrutiny of the evidence on which these guidelines are based reveals significant flaws in the methodology and conduct of the relevant meta-analyses, and calls into question the interpretation of the evidence.
