Introduction to Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
Facilitators
Debbie Woodward DClinPsy
Dr. Rebecca Schneibel, psychological psychotherapist
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session the participant will have a good knowledge of:
Prerequisites
This workshop is an introduction to IPT and is aimed at people who have a previous psychological therapy training or a mental health professional qualification but no current substantial knowledge of IPT. Please note this workshop will not count toward accreditation within IPT UK or ISIPT but may pique your interest in going further! For some this workshop will help them get the most out of a second ISIPT Conference workshop, where they can then consider how IPT can be adapted and applied with a particular client group.
Abstract
This workshop will teach therapists how Interpersonal Psychotherapy developed and is applied as a treatment for depression with a strong evidence base across the age ranges and in diverse communities across the world. Interpersonal Psychotherapy is interested in what goes on between your client and their interpersonal world in terms of their significant life events and their relationships. It is a treatment that promotes the client’s understanding of their bio-psycho-social build up toward the development of depression and then pinpoints the main issue that keeps the depression going by helping the client identify an appropriate focal area. There are specific techniques used in IPT at the assessment, middle and end phase which allow the client to explore and make changes to their interpersonal world. IPT uses emotion as a mediator for change and promotes the clients effective use of their support network throughout treatment.

Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (SRT) for Mood Disorders
Faculty
Ellen Frank, Ph.D.
Danielle Novick, Ph.D.
Holly A. Swartz, M.D.
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this session the participant will be able to:
Abstract: This workshop will teach therapists the basics of Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for mood disorders, with an emphasis on its application to the management of bipolar disorder. IPSRT is considered an adaptation of IPT. Social Rhythm Therapy (SRT), a behavioural intervention designed to address regularity of daily routines (social rhythms), is added to the IPT framework. IPSRT also incorporates a fifth IPT problem area, grief for the lost healthy self, to help individuals cope with having a chronic medical condition.
The premise of SRT rests on research showing that individuals with mood disorders have underlying disturbances in their circadian biology as well as evidence showing that circadian rhythms can be modified by external factors. The rising and setting of the sun is a critically important external cue affecting the timing of biologic clocks. However, our body clocks also rely on social cues for help with timing, such as going to work at specific times, getting up at the same time every morning to take children to school, and having meals with friends or family at the same time every day. These social factors that help to set or entrain biologic clocks are known as social rhythms. Mood episodes are associated with disruptions in social and circadian rhythms whereas stable rhythms are associated with stable mood. IPSRT helps individuals stabilize their social rhythms to promote circadian stability, thereby improving mood.
This workshop will consist of an introduction to IPSRT. It will cover the theoretical rationale for IPSRT, including the importance of circadian rhythms in mood disorders. Participants will learn strategies for managing the “grief for the lost healthy self” problem area, including mourning the loss of the old role and developing more effective strategies to adapt to the new role. Participants will learn how to use the Social Rhythm Metric (SRM) to monitor and modify circadian rhythms and strategies to optimize regularity of the sleep-wake cycle. Interactive role plays will provide opportunities to learn and practice new skills.

Bringing a Perinatal Frame of Mind to IPT Practice
Half day workshop with:
- Shannon Lenze, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Washington University School of Medicine

The Perinatal Period is a time of immense change when expectant and new parents face greater challenges to their psychological wellbeing; antenatal and post-natal mental health problems can therefore be a common feature of someone’s journey to parenthood. Interpersonal Therapy is developing a strong evidence base to support the mental health of expectant / new parents and their infants.
This workshop will offer an introduction to the perinatal frame of mind and support attendees to step back and review the landscape of change facing expectant / new parents and their infants. Attendees will then be guided through the PBBS (Psychological, Biological, Behavioral, Social) clinical formulation to thoughtfully consider issues of transgenerational transmission (through concepts of "ghosts in the nursery" and "angels in the nursery"), attachment and mentalization; as well as the complexities which may arise for someone’s psychological wellbeing during the many changes that occur during the perinatal period, and how to consider these complexities when formulating in IPT.
Time will also be given to hold these ideas in mind whilst practising some core IPT strategies within small groups.
Through attending this workshop, attendees will be able to:
- Develop a greater understanding of the complex change facing perinatal clients and their infants.
- Have new ways to formulate in IPT whilst holding this complex change in mind.
- Keep baby in mind whilst working with their parent.
- Practise core IPT strategies whilst holding a perinatal frame of mind.

Objectives
At the conclusion of this session the participant will have a good knowledge of:
Prerequisites
This workshop is aimed at people who have some previous knowledge of IPT but may not necessarily have had training in the adolescent model. This workshop will provide a brief refresher on the basic principles and strategies of IPT and how the treatment is adapted for adolescents with depression. The main goal of the workshop is to provide an opportunity to see more demonstrations, participate in case discussions, practice skills, and focus on more complex cases.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depressed Adolescents (IPT-A) was adapted from the adult model of IPT and is based on the premise that depression, regardless of its etiology, occurs in an interpersonal context. IPT-A is a 12-15 session (12-16 weeks) treatment that focuses on improving depressive symptoms and interpersonal functioning. This workshop will present the goals and phases of IPT-A, identified problem areas, primary components of IPT-A, with emphasis on specific therapeutic techniques and implementation in community settings and with more complex presentations. The course will also provide an opportunity to focus on several issues in delivering IPT-A: 1) involvement of parents and social media in treatment, 2) managing suicidal ideation and safety planning within the IPT-A model; and 3) implementation in diverse settings. Lastly, we will discuss the use IPT-A as delivered over telehealth platforms. The course will include didactics, use of clinical case examples and opportunity for short experiential role playing.
