“…Bipolar disorder is a recurrent episodic mood disorder, with a predominantly genetic basis, characterized by episodes of mania or hypomania, depression, and mixed mood states (American Psychiatric Association, 2013;World Health Organization, 1992). The primary treatment for bipolar disorder is pharmacological, and involves initial treatment of acute manic, hypomanic, or mixed episodes with second generation antipsychotic medication, and subsequent prevention of further episodes with mood-stabilizing medication, especially lithium (Leibenluft and Dickstein, 2015). Bipolar disorder typically first occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood and its course, even when treated with mood-stabilizing medication, is significantly affected by stressful life events and family circumstances on the one hand, and family support on the other.…”

This review updates previous similar papers published in JFT in 2000, 2009 and 2014. It presents evidence from meta‐analyses, systematic literature reviews, narrative literature reviews and controlled trials for the effectiveness of systemic interventions for families of children and adolescents with common mental health problems and other difficulties. In this context, systemic interventions include both family therapy and other family‐based approaches such as parent training, or parent implemented behavioural programmes. The evidence supports the effectiveness of systemic interventions either alone or as part of multimodal programmes for sleep, feeding and attachment problems in infancy; recovery from child abuse and neglect; conduct problems, emotional problems, eating disorders, somatic problems, and first episode psychosis.
