New Applications of Interpersonal Psychotherapy by Gerald L Klerman

New Applications of Interpersonal Psychotherapy by Gerald L Klerman

In recent years, several new adaptations of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) have appeared in the psychiatric literature. Designed for both clinicians and researchers, New Applications of Interpersonal Psychotherapy presents these latest adaptations and their applications for a variety of disorders, including depression, bulimia, substance use, and addiction. Section One includes background concepts of IPT and recent advances in the understanding of epidemiology, genetics, and treatment of depression. Section Two covers new adaptations of IPT for depression, including maintenance for recurrent depression, conjoint IPT for depressed patients with marital disputes, and IPT for the treatment of depressed adolescents, elderly patients, depressed HIV-seropositive patients, dysthymic patients, and depressed medical patients in primary care. Section Three describes the extension of IPT to other disorders, including a simpler counseling for stress.

This is a significant contribution to the psychotherapy literatureIt is part of the scientific legacy of the late Gerald Klerman, who applied the same rigorous standards to the study of psychotherapy we are accustomed to seeing in psychopharmacology research. It describes a welcome extension of a more active and directed therapeutic approach to new groups of patients.

* Doody's Annual Health Sciences Book Review *

All the sections are well written and clear about the use of the techniques of interpersonal psychotherapy. . . . There is a richness of thought and discussion here that adds to one's understanding of the role of this particular kind of psychotherapy.

* The New England Journal of Medicine *

This volume, with its clear exposition and compelling examples, goes a long way to making a research-based approach seem both attractive and feasible to clinicians treating patients of many diagnoses in a variety of settings.
