摘要

Miklowitz and colleagues' report in this issue (1) on a meticulously conducted and elegantly analyzed comparison of family-focused therapy and a brief psycho-education intervention as adjunctive (to medication) treatments for adolescents with bipolar disorder raises as many questions as it answers. Because questions-perhaps more so than answers-propel science forward, this work is of considerable importance to the field.
