Abstract

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is an empirically validated treatment for a number of psychiatric disorders. Like all psychotherapies, IPT can be described by its theoretical foundations and its primary targets, tactics, and techniques. The need for continued creativity in IPT and other treatments is reviewed, and several specific proposals for change in IPT based on clinical observations and theoretical considerations are discussed. A paradigm for collaboration between academic research and clinical observation required for continued creativity is offered. Change is inevitable, and the empirically validated therapies such as IPT will be even more effective as they incorporate and test new and creative elements.

Additional details regarding IPT can be found in: Interpersonal Psychotherapy: A Clinician’s Guide by Scott Stuart and Michael Robertson, Basic Books, 2003. The text includes information about the practical conduct of IPT and a review of the empirical data supporting its use. Unfortunately the scope of this paper precludes a detailed discussion of IPT techniques; the reader is referred to the text for additional information in this regard.

The only study to address dosing in any fashion was recently published by Frank et al. (2007) Randomized Trial of Weekly, Twice-Monthly, and Monthly Interpersonal Psychotherapy as Maintenance Treatment for Women With Recurrent Depression. American Journal of Psychiatry, 164, 761–767. in which women with recurrent depression were assigned after remission to one of 3 maintenance treatments: once-weekly IPT, bi-weekly IPT, or once-monthly IPT. There was no difference in recurrence rates between groups.
