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.
The Guide to Interpersonal Psychotherapy is the definitive,
practical guide to Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for clinicians
and researchers. IPT is a well-researched, time-limited, and
diagnosis-focused therapy. An update and expansion of the original
1984, 2000, and 2007 IPT manuals, this guide illustrates not only
individual IPT treatment for patients with major depression but
adaptations of IPT for different diagnoses, patient populations,
and treatment formats. This book is the basis for the extensive
research that has validated IPT and led to its listing in treatment
guidelines. Written by the originators of the treatment and one of
its leading researchers, this updated and expanded guide describes
how to approach clinical encounters with patients, how to focus IPT
treatment, and how to handle therapeutic difficulties. IPT can be
combined with medication, and it is a safe alternative to
medication for individuals who may not be able to take
antidepressants. IPT has been shown not only to relieve symptoms
but to build social skills as well. Learn how to use IPT to
effectively treat depression and other disorders including bipolar
disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, posttraumatic
stress, and borderline personality disorder. With clinical examples
and sample therapist scripts throughout, The Guide summarizes the
theoretical and empirical background of IPT and focuses on teaching
you the best way to deliver this effective, immensely practical
treatment.
