About
Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a structured form of psychotherapy that focuses on improving communication and relationship patterns in individuals. It is based on the idea that psychological symptoms can be alleviated by improving the way a person interacts with others.
IPT typically involves identifying and addressing specific interpersonal issues that may be contributing to the individual's emotional difficulties. The therapist helps the individual explore their relationships, communication style, and ways of relating to others in order to foster healthier interactions.
This therapy is often used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders, as well as relationship problems. IPT aims to help individuals develop better interpersonal skills, resolve conflicts, and improve their overall well-being through enhanced social connections.
