PSYCHOLOGY CLINIC 

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a form of psychotherapy designed for the treatment of depressive symptoms. IPT is a brief, focused talk therapy aimed at resolving the issues you are facing. During IPT, the focus of treatment is not on genetic predisposition or traumatic childhood experiences. Instead, you and the therapist collaborate to address recent events that have contributed to your depression. Research has shown that resolving or finding ways to cope with these recent triggers can lead to the alleviation of depression.

​

Interpersonal psychotherapy operates under the premise that humans need others to feel well. Consequently, the therapy centers around interpersonal dynamics and issues.

​

Within IPT, four central themes are recognized:

​

1. Grief

2. Interpersonal conflicts

3. Role transitions

4. Lack of social interactions
