Reflecting the new and exciting trends in the treatment of
psychiatric patients, this book presents a model of IPT 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 in depression.
Research shows that four problem areas predominate: grief,
interpersonal disputes, role transitions, and interpersonal
deficits. The therapist evaluates the need for medication in
addition to interpersonal therapy (IPT) and focuses on the
patient's problem area. Acknowledging that these areas are never
mutually exclusive, the authors present a clear treatment strategy
for each problem area, augmenting their presentation with a
discussion of common problems that arise during IPT.
