Introduction to Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Synonym(s):

​7 March 2025

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a time-limited, focused and evidence-based approach originally developed to treat major depression in the 1970's by a psychiatrist, Dr Gerard Klerman, and a social worker, Dr Myrna Weismann. It has since been adapted for use as a transdiagnostic approach for the treatment of various mental health conditions with positive outcomes. It focuses on relationships and commonly encountered life stressors of loss, change, or conflict with the overall goals to improve interpersonal relationships and social functioning. This introductory course will allow participants to be equipped with IPT techniques and tools which can also be incorporated into any counselling intervention or therapy model.
