Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a structured, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals improve their interpersonal relationships and social functioning. The goals of the therapy include relationship resolution and life transition adjustment. Key areas include social isolation, interpersonal problems, role transitions (such as divorce or career changes), grieving and loss. During IPT, individuals work with a therapist to identify and understand relationship patterns and social challenges. As part of treatment, an interpersonal inventory is made to identify problematic areas, goals are defined, and useful skills like conflict resolution and effective communication are developed. This therapy promotes general well-being and lessens emotional distress symptoms by enhancing social support and interpersonal dynamics.
