Interpersonal Psychotherapy: A Global Reach
Department Chair, and President of the International Society for Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Heather Flynn, Ph.D., co-authored a chapter in a new textbook titled “Interpersonal Psychotherapy: A Global Reach.” The textbook describes the rapidly expanding global dissemination of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), an effective treatment for depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. The book, authored by the developer of IPT Dr. Myrna Weissman, includes the development of new training, technologies, and the use of IPT in over 30 counties around the world. In Chapter 5, Flynn discusses ISIPT Certification Programs and their goal to develop standards and processes supporting continued educational development and certification of IPT trainers and supervisors.
