“…Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) has been found to alleviate depression by improving interpersonal problems [45]. As Interpersonal Psychotherapy has been successfully applied in various populations, including adolescents and young adults [46,47], IPT could be adapted for use within the trans population [48]. IPT can also help people to develop new ways to deal with negative emotions and therefore reduce NSSI rates.…”

“…These eight treatments were cognitive, cognitive-behavioral, or interpersonal in orientation, and half utilized symptomatic as opposed to diagnosed samples of adolescents. On average, treatments with parent partners yielded a small positive benefit (weighted mean ES = .25), with two of these eight treatments generating an effect size greater than .50, including one interpersonal and one CBT trial (Mufson, Weissman, Moreau, & Garfinkel, 1999;Stark, 1990).…”

Research on parent risk factors, family environment, and familial involvement in the treatment of depression in children and adolescents is integrated, providing an update to prior reviews on the topic. First, the psychosocial parent and family factors associated with youth depression are examined. The literature indicates that a broad array of parent and family factors is associated with youth risk for depression, ranging from parental pathology to parental cognitive style to family emotional climate. Next, treatment approaches for youth depression that have been empirically tested are described and then summarized in terms of their level of parent inclusion, including cognitivebehavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and family systems approaches. Families have mostly not been incorporated into clinical treatment research with depressed adolescents, with only 32% of treatments including parents in treatment in any capacity. Nonetheless, the overall effectiveness of treatments that involve children and adolescents exclusively is very similar to that of treatments that include parents as agents or facilitators of change. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings and directions for further research. Keywordsdepression; adolescence; childhood; treatment; parent factors; family risk factors Developmentally, youth are known to have close ties to their families of origin (Diamond, Siqueland, & Diamond, 2003;Steinberg, 2005). As a result, there is a general belief in the field of psychology that it is important to include parents and families in the treatment of depressed youth (Clark, Beck, & Alford, 1999;Curry, 2001) however, empirical guidelines for how to do so are lacking. Consensus about the need for, and how to measure the effects of, parental involvement in treatment is elusive (Goodman & Gotlib, 1999). Still, achieving a better understanding of the multidimensional nature of risks for depression and how parent involvement in treatment relates to those risks are the priorities for the area of youth depression.Recently, a national group of experts was called to summarize and prioritize the state of research on risk and treatment for youth depression. Specifically, the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) invited a workgroup of leaders in the field of depression to clarify the state of information about the risks for and treatment of depression, and to make recommendations on where the field needs to focus research endeavors (Costello et al., 2002). Regarding risks for depression, the workgroup recommended further research into both family environment and genetics. As summarized by Costello and the NIMH workgroup, multiple pathways to depression are evident. The workgroup emphasized the multidimensional NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript nature of depression, along with the paucity of research into the early pathways and interactions that cause depression. Although research has not identified all of the parent or family ...

“…IPT-A has been demonstrated to be superior to clinical monitoring (which included brief supportive therapy) at the end of 12 weeks of treatment (75% vs 46% recover y respectively), in a sample of 48 clinicreferred adolescents. 22 A small study of 71 Puerto Rican young people compared three groups: IPT, CBT and a waiting-list control group. Both the IPT and CBT group did better than the waiting-list control, but there was no significant difference in outcome between the two therapies.…”

“…IPT-A was superior with regard to reduction in depressive symptoms and reduced functional impairment; these gains were maintained at 16-week follow up. 24 Historically in the UK, the paucity of therapists trained in IPT-A limited the availability of this treatment, but this is now being changed with the CYP-IAPT initiative which includes a module on IPT-A.…”
