FYM-Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) Theory, Structure, and Techniques
This presentation will cover the basics of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) theory, structure, and techniques, as well as one of the tools (the Interpersonal Inventory) that you can incorporate into your clinical practice right after the presentation. IPT is an empirically validated treatment for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and PTSD, and can be used transdiagnostically to provide effective treatment to a wide variety of clients. It is based on attachment and interpersonal theory, and emphasizes that a client’s relationships impact the client’s experience of distress, and that the client’s distress also impacts those around them. IPT utilizes a Biopsychosocial/Cultural/Spiritual model which recognizes the specific influences of culture and spirituality on distress and community.
