How Does Interpersonal Psychotherapy Work?
IPT focuses on how we interact in our relationships. It aims to reduce psychological distress by improving the way we interact with others and enabling us to get our needs met in our relationships.

They then teach patients a range of techniques in order to tackles these difficulties and facilitate a resolution.
