"Interpersonal Psychotherapy" compiles the results of several recent research studies on this popular subject. Not only has interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) been found to be effective in treating acute major depression, but recent studies have led to the adaptation and testing of IPT for treating other diagnostic groups, including non-mood disorders.

With rising economic pressures, interpersonal psychotherapy has gained attention as a proven time-limited treatment. This reference provides an overview of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) and discusses important developments in IPT research and clinical practice. It covers: The results of recent research studies, typical phases of treatments and applications for patient populations, which have seen positive results for IPT

The concepts and techniques of IPT and its current status of IPT adaptation

Groundbreaking research using IPT in maintenance treatments of recurrent depression

The adaptation of IPT to treat depresses adolescents as well as bulimia patients

The use of IPT to treat depression associated with HIV-positive patients

The current and likely future roles of interpersonal psychotherapy in clinical practice

Complete with charted research results, this comprehensive resource provides invaluable information on recent developments in interpersonal psychotherapy.

Industry Reviews

"This timely, highly readable and clinically useful book. It is one of the very best reviews of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) that has been published. In an age of increasing accountability in psychotherapy, the authors have conveyed the exceptional efficacy and effectiveness of this time-limited psychotherapy in the treatment of acute and chronic disorders. The liberal use of clinical case descriptions allows the reader an opportunity to witness how skilled IPT practitioners conceptualize their therapeutic relationships and the techniques they employ in treating their patients."-- "Jerald Kay, M.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry, Wright State University School of Medicine, Editor, Journal of Psychotherapy Practice and Research, Dayton, Ohio"
