Discuss how you could incorporate IPT into your clinical practice as a PMHNP. Interpersonal psychotherapy according to Chadda et al. (2020), is a time-limited and diagnosis- targeted intervention that focuses on the “here and now” of the illness by resolving issues related to IP problem areas. I PT focuses on communication skills, life situations, and relationships rather than observing mental health as being isolated (Weissman, 2020). Additionally, IPT is a short- term modality that centers on promoting communication and interpersonal skills. An individual will learn skills that will help to heal relationships and prevent any future relationship issues. As a PMHNP, IPT can be utilized with clients with many mental health disorders to help them build their communication and interpersonal skills. I will work with the client to help them learn skills to heal relationships and prevent any future issues. By providing an empathic approach it engages the patient, helps the patient to feel understood, arouses affect, presents a clear rationale and treatment ritual, and yields success experiences. What populations other than geriatrics would this best fit and why? IPT is beneficial for a wide range of patients for children and adolescents to the elderly. According to IPT Institute (n.d.), t he evidence base for IPT supports its use from age 9 to 99+. Although according to Dietz (2020), family-based interpersonal psychotherapy (FB-IPT) is an evidence-based psychosocial intervention for depression in preadolescents (ages 8–12 years).

I agree with you that IPT can be beneficial for populations beyond geriatrics. Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) was initially developed for the treatment of adult depression and has been adapted for different disorder, ages, cultures, settings, methods of

implementation (e.g. group, telephone) and level of therapist training, with over 100 clinical trials (International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy, n.d.) . Thus, IPT can work for many groups and situations. International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT). (n.d.). Adaptations of IPT: What works for whom? https://interpersonalpsychotherapy.org/ipt-basics/adaptations-of-ipt- what-works-for-whom/ Hi Colleen, Thanks for sharing your post this week. I agree with you that incorporating IPT into clinical practice involves becoming familiar with IPT’s therapeutic foundations and techniques through proper training. According to Swartz and Novick (2020), technology has extended the reach of human interactions. Furthermore, it permits individuals to contact friends and family who live far away and creates an almost infinite pool of potential social connections. More time online is associated with worse, not better, mental health outcomes (Swartz & Novick, 2020) . IPT strategies can be adapted to meet these goals in the digital age while retaining IPT’s fundamental focus on improving mood by improving interpersonal relationships (Swartz & Novick, 2020) .
