Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a time-limited, structured, and evidence-based form of psychotherapy developed primarily for the treatment of depression, though it has since been adapted for a variety of psychological disorders such as anxiety disorders, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, and adolescent mental health problems. It is based on the principle that psychological symptoms are closely related to interpersonal relationships and social functioning. Rather than focusing extensively on unconscious conflicts or personality restructuring, IPT aims to improve the individual's current interpersonal relationships, believing that improvements in these areas will reduce psychological distress. The theoretical foundation of IPT combines attachment theory, communication theory, and social support research. It assumes that life events, changes in social roles, and conflicts in relationships can trigger or maintain emotional disorders. The therapist helps the client identify and resolve interpersonal difficulties that contribute to symptoms while enhancing social support and communication skills. Interpersonal psychotherapy is usually conducted over 12 to 16 weekly sessions and follows three phases: the initial phase, the middle phase, and the termination phase. During the initial phase, the therapist assesses symptoms, establishes a diagnosis, explains the interpersonal model of treatment, and identifies the primary interpersonal problem area. The middle phase focuses on addressing the selected interpersonal issue using specific therapeutic techniques. In the termination phase, progress is reviewed, gains are consolidated, relapse prevention strategies are discussed, and the ending of therapy is processed. IPT focuses on four major interpersonal problem areas. The first is grief or complicated bereavement. Some individuals experience prolonged or unresolved grief following the death of a significant person. IPT helps clients express emotions related to the loss, adapt to life without the deceased, strengthen social support,
