The Interpersonal Psychotherapy Platform
Abstract
This chapter introduces interpersonal psychotherapy, covers its increasing popularity, and defines the elements that make it unique. It discusses the extent to which IPT can be adapted for differing treatment populations, diagnostic groups, and treatment formats and still remain effective and authentic. The model described here has been the basis for the research that put IPT on the international map, and significantly altering that model would depart from the evidence base that gives it clinical validity. The techniques of IPT are outlined. Much of the work in IPT involves helping patients to see the relationship between environmental triggers and their symptoms, then encouraging them to find interpersonal responses to ameliorate the crisis. The chapter reviews the history, theory, and empirical basis of IPT. Highlighted are the extensive research trials that have confirmed the efficacy of this method of treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
