N2 - Little is known about psychosocial interventions for children with bipolar disorder (BPD). In this paper, we describe a therapeutic technique, Thinking-Feeling-Doing (TFD), which we use as part of a comprehensive family-based psychosocial treatment program for children with BPD and their families. It is based on principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy. A simple schemata assists children and their parents to identify and link their negative feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and to develop alternative thoughts and behaviors that can lead to a more positive mood state. A case example is provided and developmental considerations for using TFD with younger children are addressed.
