Abstract

Introduction: Psychoeducation is considered to be an integral part of the modern and total therapeutic treatment for mental disorder. It is the main intervention in the application of theory of psychosocial rehabilitation in practice. Purpose of this paper records the psychoeducation programs for mental illnesses, especially in bipolar disorder, in order to present the benefits of psychoeducational intervention both to mental sufferers and their families and / or caregivers through a bibliographic review. Conclusions: Family education and therapy is aimed at the well-being of all members, while psychoeducation aims to effectively treat the patient and maintain the balance. Family education helps members to be more "efficient" in interventions for their mentally ill and achieve better results when it is done in group, as this promotes the exchange of views and the mutual reinforcement.
