Interpersonal Psychotherapy: A Global Reach

Details about Interpersonal Psychotherapy: A Global Reach:

Interpersonal Psychotherapy: A Global Reach describes the rapidly expanding global dissemination of IPT, including the development of new training, technologies, and the use of IPT all over the world and in diverse populations. This book covers training considerations, especially for task-shifted or lay providers, certification in delivery of IPT, use of technology for training and implementation, and the continuing evidence base of IPT. The book includes implementation in high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and humanitarian settings that have limited funds for research and dissemination. Providing practical guidance and experience, experts from 31 different countries from Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, South America, and Oceania describe challenges and facilitators of implementing IPT in their settings, share templates of training and adaptation, and provide practical case examples. Additionally, authors detail adaptations of IPT for different disorders, such as borderline personality disorder and PTSD, and many diverse populations across the lifespan from preadolescents to older adults. Implementation of IPT with diverse communities globally includes descriptions of work with African American girls, Indigenous people, Latinx people, refugees, sexual and gender minority individuals, those with perinatal depression, and veterans, among others.This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.
