INTERPERSONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY

Book ID/图书代码： 00581010B37922

English Summary/英文概要： Interpersonal Psychotherapy provides an introduction to the theory, history, research, and practice of this effective, empirically validated approach. Gerald L. Klerman and Myrna M. Weissman initially created interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) as a brief approach for treating depression, but it has since been adapted for use with a wide variety of client presenting problems and in longer-term situations.

This approach focuses on the interaction between interpersonal dysfunction and psychological symptoms. IPT is founded on the idea that humans are social beings, thus client personal relationships lie at the center of presenting problems and psychological states.

Although grounded in a medical model, which is used to conceptualize the client’s presenting problem, the primary basis for this approach lies in an interpersonal modification of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Therapy is present-focused, but aspects of attachment theory are used to analyze how past relationships affect current relationships. Therapists applying IPT take an active stance, continually and supportively guiding the sessions to maintain focus on one of four interpersonal problem areas: unresolved grief, role transitions, role disputes, or interpersonal deficits.

In this book, Frank and Levenson present and explore this versatile and useful approach, its theory, history, therapy process, primary change mechanisms, the empirical basis for its effectiveness, and contemporary developments that have refined the theory and expanded how it may be practiced.

This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples featuring diverse clients, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling, as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding how this approach has evolved and how it might be used in their practice.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书介绍了人际关系治疗法的理论、历史、研究和实践，事实证明这种方法是有效的。Gerald L Klerman和Myrna M. Weissman最早发明了人际关系治疗发（IPT），将它作为一种治疗抑郁症的简单方法。但后来它被更广泛的应用于解决来访者的其他问题。
该方法强调人际障碍和心理学症状之间的交互作用。IPT是基于人类是社会性动物的理论之上，这样来访者的人际关系就出在了现有问题与心理状况的中心。
尽管在厘清来访者现有问题的概念是用的是医学的方法，但是这种疗法的主要基础是心理动力学意义上的人际关系模式调整。整个治疗过程着眼于此时此地，但也关注过去的人际关系是如何影响到现在人际模式。治疗师运用IPT的方式提出积极的问题，并且持续支持性地指导整个治疗过程，让问题的焦点始终集中在人际互动问题上：未解决的伤痛、角色转换、角色辩论或人际缺陷。
在书中，Frank和Levenson介绍了这个有效的方法，包括它的理论、历史、治疗过程、主要的运作机制、经验基础和当代的发展，并提出了如何将其运用到实践中去的延伸观点。
在这本入门读物中，涵盖了大量的不同类型来访者的实例，非常适合正在学习心理咨询与治疗的研究生读者使用，同样也适合于有经验的心理学工作者，来更详细地了解这种疗法是如何发展而来及被应用的。(兼职翻译-LN)
