Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Cognitive Impairment (IPT-ci) aims
to improve coping skills of older adults. It builds on traditional
Interpersonal Psychotherapy, an evidence-based treatment that has
been found useful in treating depressed elders. Cognitive
impairment, a common occurrence in the older population due to
disease or age-related causes of changes in brain function, calls
for additional strategies to optimize functioning. IPT-ci seeks to
help older patients and their caregivers manage the effects of
cognitive impairment, particularly in the early phase when behavior
changes are often misunderstood, as well as to plan for potential
future declines in cognitive functioning.
Part I offers an overview of IPT principles and the development of
IPT-ci, as well as essential background information for those new
to the field of clinical geriatrics. Chapters on late-life
depression, cognitive impairment/dementia, and executive function
provide key points of reference for working with this population.
Part II demonstrates the IPT-ci approach from the initial interview
through long-term follow up. Special attention is paid to the role
of concerned family members or caregivers and the role transition
they are going through becoming caregivers.
This guide is replete with case examples, numbered for easy
reference and representing a range of patients and issues. Detailed
analysis clarifies the application of IPT-ci elements. Clinicians
will find this guide a practical resource for treating older
patients and assisting their caregivers from the first visit to
lifelong management.
