商品簡介
Hinrichsen (psychology training, Zucker Hillside Hospital, North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, and psychiatry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine) and Clougherty (interpersonal psychotherapy trainer, New York State Psychiatric Institute, and social work, Yale School of Medicine) explain how to conduct interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) with adults over the age of 65 who are suffering from depression, a group that is not usually included in clinical uses of IPT. They discuss gerontology matters, depression and later life, clinical assessment and treatment, why IPT is effective, the structure of IPT and problems that may arise, and termination of therapy. The bulk of the volume uses clinical cases to illustrate how to use IPT in practice with grief, interpersonal role disputes, role transitions, and interpersonal deficits. In addition to the bibliography, an annotated list of resources is provided. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
