“…These disorders typically begin in adolescence and the young adult years (Micali et al, ; Stice et al, ; Volpe et al, ), and they constitute one of the most common mental health problems seen by college counseling centers/health services (Resnick, ). In this study, several reasons dictated the choice of IPT: (1) readily acceptable to therapists and clients (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, ; Tanofsky‐Kraff & Wilfley, ); (2) hypothesized to result in high rates of adoption because it is perceived as similar to the type of psychotherapy many therapists in student counseling centers provide; (3) IPT, with its focus on interpersonal issues, is particularly appropriate for a population of young adults, especially females (Weisz & Hawley, ; Wilson et al, ); (4) broadly applicable to a wide range of clients with an eating disorder (Wilson et al, ); and (5) IPT may have broader therapeutic effects than just those on eating disorders (Cuijpers et al, ; Markowitz et al, ; Weissman et al, ). Thus, in this study, careful attention was given to setting and treatment type so as to maximize implementation success and sustainability.…”
