Reflecting the new and exciting trends in psychotherapy as well as
responsive to the current emphasis on efficient, substantial
therapeutic results, this book presents a model of interpersonal,
short_term psychotherapy for clinically depressed patients. Gerald
L. Klerman, whose research on depression has made him world
renowned, and Myrna M. Weissman, who has written, with Eugene
Paykel, an important book on women and depression, have worked with
their colleagues to present the empirical basis for their new
treatment method. This theory builds on the heritage of Harry Stack
Sullivan and John Bowlby and their focus on interpersonal issues
and attachment on depression. Research shows that four categories
of interpersonal difficulties predominate: grief, interpersonal
disputes, role transitions. and interpersonal deficits. In this
approach, the therapist focuses on the patient's primary problems
and evaluates the need for medication in addition to interpersonal
therapy. Acknowledging that these four areas are never mutually
exclusive, the authors present a clear treatment strategy for each,
augmenting their presentation with a discussion of common obstacles
that arise during treatment. As an overview, the book compares
interpersonal psychotherapy with other psychotherapies for
depression. Summaries of research documenting the efficacy of
interpersonal psychotherapy are given.The authors outline the
theoretical basis for an interpersonal approach, and apply it to
depression. The following sections detail how to conduct
interpersonal psychotherapy, supplying case vignettes to illustrate
particular problems. Finally, the authors explore combining
interpersonal psychotherapy with pharmacotherapy.
