Phase II
Authors: Harding Courtenay M.
Published: June 2024

This chapter describes the importance and roles of peers in the recovery process, a method often thought of as “new” by today’s program developers, but one that was remarkable at Vermont State Hospital in the 1950s. The chapter details a report of the 5-year follow-up revealing how they did it, who was involved, and what they found. The program is also compared to the “Total Push” program in California, and to the experimental efforts of other states such as Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. None was as successful as Vermont. The difference was changing the environment to one of a more horizontal than a hierarchical one. Patients, staff, and physicians reconfigured together the way the therapeutic process was to proceed. New ideas from all quarters were introduced and honored. Power was shared and a real community was built.
Worldwide Evidence of Recovery
Authors: Harding Courtenay M.
Published: June 2024

Part Four begins with an overview of nine other studies from across the world. These include two from Switzerland, and one each from Austria, Lithuania, Germany, Bulgaria, Iowa, Japan, and Chicago. All have generated similar recovery data (46–84%) depending on the diagnostic system used. Each study is described briefly with its findings. Each was over 20 years in length, and most had systematic assessments. There is a discussion about reducing medication protocols and time spent on medications. Both the Chicago and Vermont studies found that all recovered and most of the significantly improved people were off medications whether they had been once diagnosed as having schizophrenia or affective disorders. This brings up critical questions since the common protocol is one of stabilization, maintenance, medication, and entitlements, all of which contribute to continued chronicity in patients. Currently, considerable discussion is ongoing in certain quarters about this issue. The name of schizophrenia is being changed in Asia.
US Programs
Authors: Harding Courtenay M.
Published: June 2024

This chapter overviews novel US care systems that focus on helping people with mental health issues take control of and rebuild their lives. The author emphasizes the need for care systems to focus on open communication, shared decision-making, and problem-solving. The chapter underscores how funding for services needs to be a much higher priority in local, state, and federal budgets, but that much can be done using innovative methods that move from a primarily biomedical inpatient approach to a broad biopsychosocial outpatient approach. Using this new approach, clinicians, patients, and their families will find much greater success in reclaiming lives from mental illness. This requires a shift from the prevailing 125-year-old paradigm of hopelessness, changes in clinician training programs, and a fresh start for everyone.
Harold Arlen and His Songs
Authors: Frisch Walter
Published: June 2024

Harold Arlen and His Songs is the first full-length study of the work of one of the great composers of the American Songbook. Although he created many standards, Arlen lacks the name recognition of some of his peers. He wrote in wide range of styles, from ballads like “Over the Rainbow,” to comic “list” numbers like “Lydia the Tattooed Lady,” to jazz- and blues-infused songs like “Blues in the Night,” to intense torch songs like “The Man That Got Away.” While analysis of American popular song of this era (ca. 1920–1970) has often focused on the music, this study treats Arlen’s works as true collaborations between composer and lyricist, something he emphasized as a “happy wedding.” The book is organized structurally by Arlen’s work with each of his principal lyricists, Ted Koehler, Yip Harburg, Johnny Mercer, Leo Robin, Dorothy Fields, Ira Gershwin, Truman Capote, Dory Langdon, and Martin Charnin. This approach yields a roughly chronological trajectory extending over forty years from 1929 to the early 1970s, and across three main venues, the Cotton Club of Harlem, Broadway, and Hollywood. Arlen was more closely associated than his peers with prominent Black singers, and he composed scores for several Black-cast stage and film musicals. As arranger, pianist, and singer, Arlen was also active as a performer of his own songs, on record, radio, and television.
Arlen and Ted Koehler
Authors: Frisch Walter
Published: June 2024

This chapter explores Arlen’s first major partnership, with lyricist Ted Koehler. Introduced to each other while Arlen worked as rehearsal pianist on Vincent Youmans’ show Great Day in 1929, they wrote their first hit, “Get Happy,” in the style of a spiritual. They went on to contribute to various stage revues, including at the Cotton Club in Harlem (1930–1934), where they created the jazz- and blues-infused numbers “Stormy Weather,” premiered by Ethel Waters, and “Ill Wind.” Under contract to Warner Bros., Arlen and Koehler moved to Hollywood in 1933, where they wrote in a more lyrical style for the film Let’s Fall in Love. As a singer fronting for various bands, Arlen also made numerous recordings during the early 1930s, including some of the popular Arlen-Koehler songs.
Arlen, Leo Robin, and Dorothy Fields
Authors: Frisch Walter
Published: June 2024

In the later 1940s and 1950s, at the height of his compositional powers and productivity, Arlen collaborated for the first time with two veteran lyricists, Leo Robin and Dorothy Fields. With Robin he wrote excellent songs for the film Casbah (1947), including “What’s Good About Goodbye” and “It Was Written in the Stars.” For the film Mr. Imperium (1951) Arlen and Fields created the melodically rich and expansive “Let Me Look at You” to suit operatic voice of Ezio Pinza. Arlen and Fields wrote thirteen numbers for The Farmer Takes a Wife (1953). Highlights include “With the Sun Warm Upon Me.” One song cut from the film, “Look Who’s Been Dreaming,” is a harbinger of Arlen’s later style.
Arlen Sings and Plays: Recordings and Performances of the 1950s and 1960s
Authors: Frisch Walter
Published: June 2024

During the 1950s, after a hiatus of almost twenty years, Arlen began performing again actively as a singer and pianist. He appeared on radio and with some frequency on the newer medium of television, including on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Tonight Show, and other variety programs, as well as some specials organized around his music. Working with arranger Peter Matz, Arlen made several LP recordings of his songs, including Harold Arlen Sings (With Friend) (1965), in which he teamed up with one of his favorite interpreters, Barbra Streisand. The many demos Arlen recorded for his shows and films are important documents of his creative process. Arlen’s voice deepened with age, losing some its “crooner” qualities. His performances of the 1950s reflect jazz practices of the era.
Raciolinguistic Genealogy as Method
Authors: Flores Nelson
Published: June 2024

This chapter describes the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of a raciolinguistic genealogy. It lays out three components of a raciolinguistic genealogy. The first is a genealogical stance that denaturalizes racial categories through examining the historical context that led to their emergence. The second is a materialist framing that situates the construction of racial categories within the political and economic relations of power they were created to maintain. The third is a raciolinguistic perspective brings attention to the role of language ideologies in the production of racial difference. It then uses this framework as a point of entry for analyzing US history by examining the integral role that raciolinguistic ideologies have played in producing and maintaining white settler colonialism and the trans-Atlantic slave trade, as well as in politically incorporating the demands of the Civil Rights movement in ways that maintained the racial status quo.
Novel Forms: Rose Atwood’s “A Man’s Duty,” Oscar Micheaux’s The Masquerade: An Historical Novel, Willa Cather’s A Lost Lady
Authors: Gleeson-White Sarah
Published: June 2024

This chapter considers a rather unusual literary form generated out of the encounter of motion pictures and literature during the silent-film era: the novelization.. It examines three disparate examples of this: Rose Atwood’s “A Man’s Duty” in the Black press; Oscar Micheaux’s The Masquerade: An Historical Novel, a strange verbatim recycling of Charles Chesnutt’s The House Behind the Cedars, among other things; and the photoplay (movie) edition of Willa Cather’s A Lost Lady. It argues that in adopting, drawing on, and in other ways appealing to or incorporating features of motion pictures—plots, print modes, audiences—the novelization circulated literature and literary form among a moviegoing readership.
Patriot Presidents
Authors: Leuchtenburg William E.
Published: June 2024

Patriot Presidents: From George Washington to John Quincy Adams discusses the history of the founding fathers of the United States. The opening chapter on the Constitutional Convention of 1787 analyzes how the founding fathers created a unique institution, the presidency. They were determined to authorize an effective chief executive but cautious of monarchy. The presidency that developed over the next generation was fashioned less by the clauses in the Constitution than by the way that the first presidents responded to challenges. Patriot Presidents focuses on the incumbencies of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams.
The Constitutional Convention of 1787
Authors: Leuchtenburg William E.
Published: June 2024

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which framed the institution of the presidency. The narrative explains why James Madison is called the father of the Constitution and James Wilson is called the father of the presidency. Additionally, the Committee on Postponed Matters made a critical move in taking the choice of the president from Congress and vesting it in an electoral college. Delegates assigned the task of polishing the draft of the Constitution to a committee of style chaired by the redoubtable Gouverneur Morris. Though George Washington was reluctant to emerge from retirement, he was elected the first American president and made a triumphal, though sedate, trip north to his inauguration ceremony in New York.
John Quincy Adams
Authors: Leuchtenburg William E.
Published: June 2024

John Quincy Adams, unlike predecessors who quailed at the assertion of federal authority that lacked clear constitutional sanction, boldly declared that liberty is power, and advocated an ambitious program of internal improvements. The Adams program, in fact, was the forerunner of later initiatives such as the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Great Society, and Bidenomics. Opponents, though, denied Adams fulfillment of his vision. His place in history derives primarily from his career as a diplomat before entering the White House and as the intrepid crusader against the gag rule after ending the presidency. Adams, it is pointed out, spent a lifetime dedicated to the Patriot cause.
Introduction
Authors: Callander Denton , Farvid Panteá , Baradaran Amir , Vance Thomas A.
Published: June 2024

Racism and sexuality are inextricably entwined, two mutually constructing concepts that define core components of the contemporary struggle for social justice. Here, the expression “sexual racism” can be usefully applied not, as is typically done, to qualify or contextualise racism but instead to render explicit the racialization of sexuality and the sexualization of race. It is simply not possible to understand one without the other. This chapter introduces an exciting new collection of multidisciplinary scholarship based on this expansive understanding of sexual racism. It highlights how sexual racism is manifested through and affirmed by the ongoing violence of colonialism, imperialism, globalization, neoliberalism, and capitalism. Considering the complex interplay of these systems, the analyses presented by this chapter conclude that the only way to advance the social justice projects of antiracism and sexual liberation is to see them as one and the same.
A Look Back at the World’s First Online Anti–Sexual Racism Campaign
Authors: Quan Andy
Published: June 2024

In 2000, two activists in Australia started the world’s first online campaign targeting sexual racism. Known as “Sexual Racism Sux,” it was aimed at cisgender gay men and argued that rejecting partners because of their race was a form of racism rather than a personal preference. In this chapter, one of the campaign’s cofounders provides a retrospective analysis of its origins, mechanisms of operation, and reactions engendered. More than two decades later, examining this campaign—its strengths and limitations—offers lessons in antiracism advocacy, including the value of allies, need for local contextualization, difficulties in challenging structural racism, and a demand for boldness. Ultimately, through the gift of hindsight it is clear that the campaign’s focus on positively framed, individual-level conversations was of arguably limited impact. While some positive effects of Sexual Racism Sux can be observed, future advocacy should focus on community-building and the structural undesiring of whiteness.
Decentering Whiteness in South Africa
Authors: Rich-Tolsma Matthew , Mqalo Sizwe
Published: June 2024

This chapter is part of an ongoing discussion about the desirability of whiteness in South Africa. Drawing on critical race theory, African philosophy, and psychoanalysis, the chapter engages two South Africans—one a black cisgender woman and the other a white cisgender man—to unpack their experiences of race and privilege at the intersection of gender and sexuality. Deploying a new method of mutual reflexivity known as “empathic dialogue,” this conversation reveals how racialized positionalities continue to shape virtually all interpersonal dynamics in South Africa. This analysis drills into the tensions between individual and structural experiences, and the often-painful work of reconciling life in a foundationally racist world. By engaging humility, humanity, and vulnerability to share and learn, empathic dialogue offers a promising interpersonal tool for contending with the enduring desirability of whiteness in South Africa and around the world.

They explore the concepts of adaptability, community, confidence, connection, cognition, understanding, healing, and freedom through discipline.
Finding a Topic
Authors: Rogers Victoria
Published: June 2024

The first step in getting the research process under way is finding a good topic. Exactly what defines a good topic, however, is not always self-evident. A good idea is not necessarily a good topic, nor is something that is simply of interest to the researcher. The matter of what constitutes a good topic, and how one might be found, are the subject of this brief opening chapter.
A New Look for Psychology
Authors: Pettit Michael
Published: June 2024

This chapter offers a new origin story for postwar psychology by rereading the history of the late 1940s “New Look” approach to perception. Rather than simply a precursor to cognitive science, the New Look movement represented an antifascist alliance among radical and liberal clinicians, social psychologists, and experimental researchers who advanced a psychological theory of ideology and prejudice. They understood all cognition as “hot”: governed by an individual’s personality and motivation. They redeployed a host of existing perceptual instruments to capture this dangerous facet of human subjectivity. The Red Scare led to the “cooling” of cognition, a narrowing of focus to the decontextualized processing of information and a forgetting of these radical roots. By 1956, cognitive psychologists adopted the computerized chess player as the favored model of thinking rather than the prejudiced and affective individual.
Why Linda Was Not a Feminist
Authors: Pettit Michael
Published: June 2024

This chapter tackles the cultural origins of cognitive bias, a concept most closely tied to the Nobel-prize-winning research of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky on judgment and decision making under uncertainty. Existing accounts tend to focus on their contributions in isolation, neglecting their close collaborators who studied risk perception at Decision Research in Eugene, Oregon. This group’s engagement in the controversy over domestic nuclear power opens an alternative history of heuristics and biases where statistical norms of risk met post-1960s social movements dedicated to participatory democracy. The Oregon group’s attempts to balance the prevalence of cognitive biases with demands of public deliberation illuminate how cognition reheated in the 1970s—a time of a wider crisis of faith in democracy fed by the culture wars and political realignment resulting from the Watergate scandal, the Vietnam War, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the energy crisis.
Rethinking the Politics of Self-Esteem
Authors: Pettit Michael
Published: June 2024

This chapter examines why measures of self-worth have ranked among the most studied constructs in psychology. Emerging from the reactions of psychoanalysts and social action researchers to the Great Depression and the rise of fascism, the English-speaking world hit peak self-esteem in the early 1990s. The state-funded California Task Force on Self-Esteem promoted the concept as a social vaccine, and the popular daytime talk show host Oprah Winfrey made the term nearly ubiquitous. Feelings of low self-worth (often the result of societal prejudice) purportedly lay at the root of a host of problems from poor school performance to teenage pregnancy to addiction. Psychologists largely reacted negatively to their newfound cultural influence. In response, the new field of positive psychology preached a secular gospel of self-control grounded in moral character as the real solution to society’s woes.
Life Immersed in Love
Authors: Cicovacki Predrag
Published: June 2024

After outlining Tolstoy’s general view with respect to the significance of love, this chapter looks at the three central characters (Natasha, Andrei, and Pierre), through whom three different models of love emerge in the novel: ecstatic, devotional, and sublimated. This last kind of love is Tolstoy’s original contribution to the discussion of love. Sublimated love is less directly related to the choices we make but far more to our overall vision of life. There are many contingent and loose parts in the world, just as there are many experiences that are far from what we hope for or desire. Our experience of suffering and of tragic events need not destroy us physically or spiritually. Rather, as it does to Natasha, Andrei, and Pierre, it can purify us to a vision of who we are and what truly matters in life.
“The Epoch of Party Formation”
Authors: Reeder Tyson
Published: June 2024

During the earliest years of the new US government, two opposing views of the American republic emerged. Many Federalists hoped to remake their nation in the British image, only with more protections for their liberties. They hoped that by replicating Britain’s government they could replicate its industrial prosperity. Other Americans welcomed a more democratic character, at least for white men. They envisioned a nation graced by republican simplicity, which would spurn the supposedly corrupting influences of industrialization and draw strength from the land and agriculture. Crisis in France festered the differences. Reports trickled to the United States that French politics had grown restless. The unrest pitted Americans who favored a strong government modeled after Britain against those who favored France and its budding revolution. British and French agents worked to strengthen the political power of those who favored their respective governments.
“Kindling Parties”
Authors: Reeder Tyson
Published: June 2024

In 1793, Edmond-Charles Genet arrived in the United States as the French revolutionary government’s diplomat and aggravated debate over US foreign policy. Genet had instructions to convince the US government to support France in its conflict against Britain. He lambasted President Washington’s policy of neutrality. When Washington refused to abandon course, Genet turned from a nuisance into a rogue. He outfitted privateers in US ports to sail against Britain and tried to organize an illegal American invasion of British and Spanish dominions in North America. Genet penetrated the gray area where the people’s sovereignty ends and the government’s begins. He intended to make the most of the ambiguity between the sovereignty of the people and the authority of the government. He believed that France and the United States had unveiled a new diplomatic age, when the people directed foreign affairs through legislatures rather than executives.
“Corrupting the Citizens”
Authors: Reeder Tyson
Published: June 2024

Between 1804 and 1807, James Madison condemned the Marquis de Casa Yrujo’s attempts to meddle in US politics by exploiting the free press. Madison waged a diplomatic battle to have Yrujo recalled by Spain, while Yrujo pressed Madison to ponder the place of the free press in a democracy, coupled with questions about the role of sovereignty in a republic. Yrujo insisted that by addressing Americans directly in the papers, he simply worked within America’s constitutional system. He brought his case before the true sovereigns of the nation—the people. When Madison had languished in the minority party before 1800, he had agreed with Yrujo that sovereignty resided with the people rather than with the government. Now in the governing party, he found the question more complicated, especially when the will of his political opponents aligned with the will of a geopolitical foe.
“Murdered by British Intrigue”
Authors: Reeder Tyson
Published: June 2024

Between 1805 and 1811, the Shawnee Tenkswatawa circulated Indian villages preaching an uncompromising creed of Indian sovereignty against wicked Americans. Hardly alone, he joined other Indian prophets and leaders who called for a renewed confederacy among Indian nations throughout North America. Like others, Tenkswatawa viewed a British alliance as the key to their confederacy. Anticipating war with the United States, British officers obliged. Madison and other Republicans accused their opponents of sacrificing the nation to Indian and British combinations. They viewed Indian nations as a vague composite between foreign powers who allied with the British and internal enemies who colluded with a foreign nation. They insisted that by coddling the British, Federalists abetted Indian attacks in the West. As the paranoia and partisan hysteria mounted, Madison thought he saw a threefold national security threat from the British, Indians, and Federalists.
How You’re Managed Changes What You Want to Do
Authors: Honig Dan
Published: June 2024

This chapter argues that empowerment-oriented management can increase employees’ mission motivation. It presents empirical evidence exploring the influence of management practice on employee motivation. It introduces three typified categories of employees with different levels of mission motivation, arguing that motivation is often changeable. It describes four case studies: (1) highly mission-motivated Thai bureaucrats who are buffered from political turmoil by empowerment-oriented management at the district level; (2) Detroit Child Protective Services specialists who are demotivated by compliance-oriented management; (3) Bangladeshi civil servants who would likely greatly benefit from more empowerment-oriented management; and (4) the transformation of General Motors’ previously unmotivated workforce following NUMMI’s new empowerment-oriented reforms. It also examines regression analysis of the positive relationship between mission motivation and empowerment-oriented management practices.
The Language of Climate Politics
Authors: Guenther Genevieve
Published: June 2024

The Language of Climate Politics dismantles fossil-fuel propaganda and offers new strategies for climate communication. It argues that partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points and that this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo. The book uncovers the falsehoods of this centrist consensus using rhetorical and ideological analyses of the terms that dominate current climate-change discourse: we, alarmist, cost, growth, “India and China,” innovation, and resilience. It discusses climate change, climate science, and climate denial, as well as the recent history of American climate politics, climate economics, international climate negotiations, climate policy in China, carbon capture and storage, carbon dioxide removal, climate disinformation campaigns, fossil-fuel subsidies, climate psychology, anti-racism, and climate justice. Finally it provides a new vocabulary for climate activism and offers guidance on initiating conversations about the climate crisis that can move people to take climate action.
Introduction: Why Words Matter in Climate Politics
Authors: Guenther Genevieve
Published: June 2024

"Why Words Matter in Climate Politics" introduces readers to the new forms of fossil-fuel propaganda that the book will dismantle, centered on the terms alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience, which dominate the language of climate politics. It notes that this propaganda is spread by partisans on both the right and the left, creating a centrist consensus upholding the status quo. It acknowledges that Republicans are wholly committed to expanding fossil-fuel production, while Democrats are more ambivalent. It shows that the Biden administration's climate policies lead to dangerous levels of global heating. It describes the people and the materials that the book will examine, and it promises that the reader will be offered news ways to talk about climate change.
Innovation
Authors: Guenther Genevieve
Published: June 2024

“Innovation” examines the fossil-fuel propaganda that carbon capture (CCS) and carbon removal (CDR) will allow the widespread use of coal, oil, and methane gas (natural gas) to continue. The chapter argues that the world must phase out hydrocarbons almost entirely. It describes the historical record of CCS failure. It presents scientific research into the limits of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and direct air capture (DAC, DACCS). It shows that fossil-fuel companies are using false advertising about CCS and CDR to greenwash their records and win subsidies from the US federal government. It analyzes how CDR advocates echo fossil-fuel greenwashing, creating a false consensus about CDR efficacy. It explains that integrated assessment models that include large amounts of carbon removal in mitigation pathways use unjustified assumptions. It recommends talking points to counter fossil-fuel propaganda about innovation in the energy sector.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depression in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Authors: Cuijpers Pim
Published: June 2024

This chapter looks into interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for depression in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It acknowledges depression as one of the most common disorders that results in considerable loss of quality of life in patients and their families. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends IPT as a specialized treatment for depression. The chapter presents the research on IPT, a meta-analysis of the effects of IPT on adult depression, and the trials conducted in LMICs in comparison to IPT research in high-income countries. It suggests the effectiveness of IPT as a treatment for adult depression should not be any less in LMICs.
International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy Chapters
Authors: Omay Oguz , Swartz Holly A.
Published: June 2024

This chapter explores the establishment of formal International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT) chapters. Formal ISIPT chapters are formed by interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) practitioners who represent specific regional, national, or language-based IPT interests. Essentially, ISIPT chapters foster global cooperation among IPT researchers, trainers, and practitioners while advancing ISIPT’s goal of extending the reach of IPT worldwide. The chapter highlights how chapter formation is also part of a strategic plan to grow ISIPT as it attracts together individuals with shared objectives and concerns, providing infrastructure that links smaller IPT practitioner groups to the broader ISIPT family. It then details the requirements and benefits of ISIPT chapters.

Curricular design innovations of competency-based health education have advanced digital, Internet-based pedagogy, including psychotherapy training for mental health care providers. Thus, digital, online, computer-, or smartphone app–assisted, Internet-based educational formats have the potential to improve training access and overcome geographic and practical barriers at lower cost and more convenience for learners. The chapter reviews 6 case-based, interactive, digital IPT training courses. It then mentions how digital web-based courses expanding access to training also advance the implementation of IPT and improve patients’ access to and outcomes of evidence-supported mental health care.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy Training in Mainland China
Authors: Zheng Wanhong , Liu Xuejun , Luo Yanli , Huang Manli , Li Weihui
Published: June 2024

This chapter looks into interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) training in mainland China. It starts with how psychiatrist Wanhong Zheng attempted to disseminate IPT knowledge to practitioners in China. One of the critical steps for making IPT training more available in China was the translation of IPT training manuals into the native language. Additionally, as part of the strategic plan for the dissemination of knowledge about IPT in China, the International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT) Chinese chapter (IPT China) was established in 2021. The chapter then highlights that the limited resources made it difficult to meet the need for case supervision.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy Training in Turkey
Authors: Aydın Nazan , Omay Oguz , Öztürk Nalan , Ekşi Beyza Nur
Published: June 2024

This chapter discusses interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) training in Turkey. It explains how the Harbor Bridge in Sydney became a bridge connecting Oguz Omay and Nazan Aydın to lay the foundations of IPT in Turkey. Nazan Aydın established the Turkish Association for Interpersonal Psychotherapy (KIPT-DER), which aims to create a team of highly educated and certified IPT clinicians, supervisors, and trainers and ensure that IPT is disseminated and provided in compliance with the model. The chapter then mentions that KIPT-DER, also known as IPT-Turkey, received its formal affiliation with the national chapter of the International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT) in 2021. It also introduces interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) training, which has evidence-based efficacy for treating bipolar disorder.

It also looks into a case example of a patient going through IPT.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Ethiopia (IPT-E)
Authors: Wondimagegn Dawit , Hailu Henok , Ravitz Paula , Pain Clare
Published: June 2024

This chapter elaborates on interpersonal psychotherapy in Ethiopia (IPT-E). IPT was adapted by Ethiopian psychiatrists to the local culture and context, which was then taught more broadly to provide access to services for Ethiopian patients with common mental disorders. The chapter then provides an overview of the history, process, facilitators, and barriers to the cultural adaptation and implementation of IPT-E. The most significant barrier to the widespread implementation of IPT-E ranges between the novelty of talk therapy to the clinical culture and the notion that medication is the best way to manage mental illness as a psychotic disorder. The chapter then considers a case example in line with an IPT-E provider.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Mainland China
Authors: Zheng Wanhong , Li Weihui , Luo Yanli , Huang Manli , Sun Xia , Zhou Xiaoyi
Published: June 2024

This chapter explores the rapidly growing practice of interpersonal psychotherapy in mainland China. The most recent major change in China's mental health care is the recognition of psychotherapy as a scientific and effective method of treatment. IPT suits China particularly well due to the importance of interpersonal relationships and Confucianism in the country. The chapter looks into case examples that demonstrate the applicability of IPT to the challenges of a typical Chinese family and highlights the importance of adapting IPT to meet the cultural needs of patients in China. It mentions that IPT China has several plans to promote the growth of this modality in the country.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Hong Kong
Authors: Chung Joseph Pui-yin
Published: June 2024

This chapter outlines the introduction of interpersonal psychotherapy in Hong Kong. Since its introduction in 2007, the practice has been slowly disseminated across Hong Kong, becoming a well-recognized psychological treatment among mental health professionals. Cultural adaptation is an important step in the dissemination and implementation of IPT in a non-Western society like Hong Kong. Meanwhile, the Chinese chapter of the International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy enabled collaborations among Hong Kong and Chinese professionals who use IPT to understand and deliver IPT to Chinese people. The chapter presents case examples that highlight the correlation between IPT and the cultural framework of interpersonal relationships and social support.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Refugees in Malaysia
Authors: Pereira Xavier V. , Verghis Sharuna
Published: June 2024

This chapter tackles interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for refugees in Malaysia. It explains that healthcare access is fraught with economic barriers and the risk of arrest at public hospitals for displaced people in Malaysia. Premigration experiences of violence and loss and postmigration psychosocial impacts of fear, helplessness, and loss continue to be exacerbated during asylum. Considering the suitability of IPT for refugees, expanding access to mental health interventions with other psychotherapies would be an instrumental part of a right-to-health approach to recovery for refugees. The chapter considers the work of the Health Equity Initiatives (HEI) and the problem areas distinct for refugees, such as the migration journey, interpersonal disputes, and grief.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Hungary
Authors: Stauder Adrienne , Novák Márta

Interpersonal Psychotherapy in the Netherlands
Authors: Peeters Frenk , Jonker Kosse , Blom Marc
Published: June 2024

This chapter examines interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in the Netherlands, which was first introduced during a 2-day workshop by John Markowitz in 1994. Implementation of IPT in the Netherlands went relatively smoothly. The inclusion of IPT for depression as one of first-line psychotherapeutic treatments in the national guideline greatly supported further acceptance and implementation of IPT. To stimulate implementation of IPT in daily practice, basic 3-day introductory courses were offered in different parts of the country in the curricula of postdoctoral training institutions for psychologists, psychotherapists, and to some extent psychiatrists. Subsequently, these initiatives stimulated the founding of the Dutch Society for Interpersonal Therapy in 2008. The society’s major goal is to transfer IPT knowledge and experience in the Netherlands. The chapter then reflects on the future of IPT in the Netherlands.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Different Populations in Scotland
Authors: Graham Patricia , Fitzpatrick Linda Irvine
Published: June 2024

This chapter focuses on interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in different populations in Scotland. There has been active delivery of IPT in Scotland since 1998, when the first Scottish IPT randomized controlled trial of IPT versus cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was conducted in primary care. The chapter then discusses the features of IPT for population mental health in Scotland. Thrive Edinburgh is the capital city’s mental health and well-being strategy, an ambitious 10-year framework that focuses on addressing the social determinants of health through intersectoral collaborations and partnerships. The recent experiences of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated the development of the Thrive Line in Edinburgh. The Thrive Line is a way to connect places and spaces across the city that helps to promote and improve mental health and well-being. The chapter also looks at the delivery of IPT for the veteran community through VIP Scotland; the IPT-Acute Crisis (IPT-AC), which aims to reduce distress and decrease the risk of self-harm and suicide; and the Ultra-Brief Crisis IPT-A–based intervention for suicidal children and adolescents (IPT-A-SCI).
Interpersonal Psychotherapy in Israel

Published: June 2024

This chapter explores interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in Israel, which was introduced at Ben Gurion University by Professor Josh Lipshitz, who developed IPT for anxiety disorders and initiated the Israeli IPT group. Israel is a multicultural nation to which many have immigrated from a multitude of countries within an exceptionally brief period. Additionally, Israeli society includes many ethnic and religious groups and is anchored in ancient traditions yet poised at the apex of cutting-edge technology. Therefore, Israel presents a unique opportunity to study and present how the IPT framework enables patients and clinicians to overcome various cultural and religious differences. The chapter then presents IPT in the Israeli education system and an adaptation of interpersonal counseling (IPC) for college students. It also focuses on an IPT-based intervention for children and adolescents with specific learning disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), before discussing IPT as part of the national suicide prevention program and highlighting an adaptation of IPC for dieticians in Israel. Finally, it considers IPT for perinatal women and presents 2 case examples illustrating some typical Israeli-oriented difficulties.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Lebanese and Syrian Refugees in Lebanon
Authors: Verdeli Helen , Clougherty Kathleen F. , Sardana Srishti , Sönmez Cemile Ceren , Maradian Sandra Pardi
Published: June 2024

This chapter studies interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for Syrian refugees and Lebanese host in Lebanon. Across Lebanon, the treatment gap is largely caused by the low availability of specialized mental health care resources and community-based mental health services. Especially with the influx of displaced Syrians, local communities have been under unprecedented pressure to provide for the massive new and high-need population, overstretching resources and infrastructures already insufficient for the hosting communities. To address these needs, in 2015 the National Mental Health Program at the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) of Lebanon initiated a 5-year mental health strategy (2015–2020), currently extended until 2030, to provide comprehensive, integrated, and responsive mental health services in community-based settings for vulnerable populations. Also in 2015, as part of the MoPH in collaboration with the Global Mental Health Lab (GMHLab) at Teachers College (TC), Columbia University, set the foundation for sustainable national capacity-building in IPT through the implementation of a series of trainings, with the aim of training psychologists working within the humanitarian response service system. The chapter then looks at the approach and adaptation of IPT adoption in Lebanon before considering the major barriers and facilitators of IPT implementation.
