Very clear and easy to follow course. Feel adequately prepared to begin using IPT in my own practice.
How can psychotherapy help people struggling with depression and stressful interpersonal life events? How do therapists facilitate effective management of interpersonal experiences such as loss/grief, social role transitions, role disputes or interpersonal sensitivity? Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a brief, structured, evidence-proven treatment that helps individuals resolve interpersonal issues associated with the onset, worsening, or maintenance of depression. It is recommended by the World Health Organization and expert consensus guidelines as a depression treatment. This case-based, interactive online course provides teaching on the theories, indications and clinical practice guidelines for IPT. The course features interactive learning exercises and video-taped demonstrations of clinical principles-in-practice. By the end of the course, learners will better understand how IPT can help patients address and resolve depression-related interpersonal problems, thereby improving their mood.
