Casebook of Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Abstract

(from the cover) The Casebook of Interpersonal Psychotherapy brings together experts who treat patients with and conduct clinical research on IPT. It responds to the growing need for a foundational text to supplement the available manuals on IPT. Providing a wealth of real-life treatment material, the Casebook illustrates the use of IPT in the hands of expert psychotherapists treating patients with a range of conditions and complications in different IPT treatment formats. Giving a sense of how IPT proceeds and how it works, authors describe specific adaptations of IPT for patients with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and personality disorders. The book also covers different contexts in which IPT may be practiced, including group therapy, inpatient settings, and telephone therapy. This Casebook is an invaluable resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and other mental health professionals interested in psychotherapy.
