Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a brief, 8-16 session, individual psychological treatment that was developed in the late 1970s to treat depression.  Since then it has been studied with different populations, different disorders, and different modalities.

This is an introductory workshop in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT).  During the course of this daylong program attendees will learn about:

1.     the history, research, and uses of IPT throughout the world

2.     the three phases of IPT

3.     the four problem areas that are the triggers of depression

4.     the goals, strategies, and tools used throughout each phase of treatment

There will be a combination of didactic and experiential learning opportunities.
