Description
Book SynopsisThe book compiles the results of several research studies on this subject. It discusses important developments in interpersonal psychotherapy research and its translation into clinical practice. It describes typical phases of treatments and highlights applications for patient populations.
Trade ReviewThis is an excellent, highly informative, and readable volume. It will be useful to clinicians who are experienced in the field as well as to novices who want to learn more about IPT and for whom the volume will be an introduction to the field. The book will appeal particularly to those clinicians interested in an evidence-based approach to the treatment of mental illness.

[T]his is an excellent introduction to IPT for those with little or no knowledge of the field. For those already with an interest in psychological treatments, the book provides a welcome update of the potential range of conditions for treatment. I would recommend it for individual clinicians as a counter to the many pharmacological textbooks that are available, and I think it would be a useful addition to departmental libraries.
