“…The psychological intervention selected for OSITA was IPC. IPC is a brief adaptation of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (Weissman & Verdeli, 2012;Markowitz et al 2014;Markowitz et al 2015;Weissman et al 2017). IPC focuses on interpersonal triggers of current distress/depression, mapped onto four categories of life experiences: grief, interpersonal disputes, role transitions, and interpersonal deficits.…”

Background Colombia's 6.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) have been exposed to trauma, loss, and hardships. Common mental disorders (CMDs) are prevalent in this group, yet there are few evidence-based psychosocial interventions for this population. We assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a stepped-care intervention for women IDPs in Bogota, Colombia. Methods Feasibility to recruit participants for an intervention trial, to screen for CMDs and displacement-related traumas, to refer high-risk cases to professional consultation, to implement evidence-based interpersonal counseling (IPC) for women with diagnosed CMDs, to retain participants in the intervention, and to conduct follow-up assessments was assessed. Assessment instruments were validated. The intervention was delivered by trained outreach personnel. Intervention acceptability was assessed by monitoring session attendance, dropout rates, and satisfaction. Potential efficacy was evaluated with pre- and post-intervention measures of CMDs. Results We recruited 279 women IDPs into the intervention. On screening, 177 (63.4%) had symptom levels suggesting a CMD. Participants endorsed a wide range of displacement-related exposures. Most participants receiving IPC decreased their symptom levels at follow-up. Many participants did not complete the recommended number of IPC sessions; loss to follow-up was 30%. The performance of the outreach personnel improved after the initial intervention team was replaced with community members trained to deliver the intervention. The Bogotá health system was unable to reliably accommodate emergency psychiatric referrals. Conclusions The IPC intervention shows promise, but significant challenges remain for improving reach, adherence, and participant retention. We identified strategies and partnerships to redress some of the main study limitations.

“…The 3 sessions in the manual were based, in part, on the observations that patients in the efficacy studies used, on average, only about 3 sessions; this was in keeping with broader mental health service utilization patterns in the United States and was as planned for developing countries without the resources for extended psychotherapy. The updated version of IPC was named Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Evaluation, Support, Triage, or IPT-EST (Weissman & Verdeli, 2012). This name change caused confusion as it seemed unconnected to IPC, and thus appeared to be a new treatment, which was not true.…”

Interpersonal Counseling (IPC) for Depression in Primary Care

Interpersonal Counseling (IPC) comes directly from interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), an evidenced-based psychotherapy developed by Klerman and Weissman. It [IPC?] is a briefer, more structured version for use primarily in non-mental health settings, such as primary care clinics when treating patients with symptoms of depression. National health-care reform, which will bring previously uninsured persons into care and provide mechanisms to support mental health training of primary care providers, will increase interest in briefer psychotherapy. This paper describes the rationale, development, evidence for efficacy, and basic structure of IPC and also presents an illustrated clinical vignette. The evidence suggests that IPC is efficacious in reducing symptoms of depression; that it can be used by mental health personnel of different levels of training, and that the number of sessions is flexible depending on the context and resources. More clinical trials are needed, especially ones comparing IPC to other types of care used in the delivery of mental health services in primary care.

“…However, some authors (for example, [ 34 , 35 ]) have argued that use of this term in self-help could set up certain expectations about the treatment that might hamper progress; thus, terms such as ‘guide’ and ‘facilitator’ have alternatively been used. As in other treatments and manuals the precise term used could be modified to suit the individual setting (for example, see [ 36 ]).…”

BackgroundGuided self-help is a recommended first-step treatment for bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and atypical variants of these disorders. Further research is needed to compare guided self-help that is delivered face-to-face versus via email.Methods/DesignThis clinical trial uses a randomised, controlled design to investigate the effectiveness of providing guided self-help either face-to-face or via e-mail, also using a delayed treatment control condition. At least 17 individuals are required per group, giving a minimum N of 51.DiscussionSymptom outcomes will be assessed and estimates of cost-effectiveness made. Results are proposed to be disseminated locally and internationally (through submission to conferences and peer-reviewed journals), and will hopefully inform local service provision. The trial has been approved by an ethics review board and was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01832792 on 9 April 2013.
