Description: Ten contributors overview the state of interpersonal psychotherapy from its advent in the 1970s as a time- limited treatment for major depression, based on the interpersonal school (Sullivan, 1953). In the context of managed care, IPT is increasingly a treatment of choice for mood as well as nonmood disorders, with the adolescent and HIV-positive depressed, for bulimia nervosa, in couple and group formats, in telephone interventions, and in patient self-help guides.
