Next, participants in Phase III will be divided into 1 of 2 treatment groups: FFT-A plus standard bipolar medication or treatment as usual (TAU) plus standard bipolar medication. There will be a total of 25 FFT sessions over a 2-year period. The sessions will occur weekly for 12 weeks, every other week for the next 12 weeks, every month for 3 more months, and every 3 months for 1 more year. During FFT sessions, parent and adolescent participants will learn about mood disorders and ways to solve family problems. The sessions will be held at the Denver Children's Hospital, the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center's outpatient offices, or the University of Colorado's Psychology Department. Participants receiving TAU will be given an educational workbook on mood disorders and ways to cope with them as a family. TAU participants will attend three 3-hour family counseling sessions to explain the content of the workbook. The sessions will take place at the same locations as the FFT sessions. Child participants in both groups will take their prescribed medications for their bipolar disorder and will continue to see their psychiatrists on a regular basis.
