Interpersonal Psychotherapy: Past, Present And Future: Interpersonal Psychotherapy: Past, Present And Future

Markowitz, John C.; Weissman, Myrna M.

The authors briefly describe the origins, theory, and development of interpersonal psychotherapy: its roots in clinical outcome research, its spread from major depression to other psychiatric disorders and its increasing dissemination as an empirically validated clinical intervention included in treatment guidelines. They attempt to forecast research, organizational and training issues the growing interpersonal psychotherapy community may face in the future.
