Interpersonal Psychotherapy

'In this age of evidence-based practice, clinicians dealing with prevalent but difficult clinical problems are looking for treatment procedures that are both effective and easy to implement. Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), focusing as it does on reducing stress from and improving significant interpersonal relationships, is a very strong intervention for depression and related problems. In this clearly written, brief presentation, Frank and Levenson present the essentials of IPT in a manner that clinicians will find immediately useful. This primer should be on every clinician's bookshelf.'
