人际心理治疗（IPT）是一种有效的，务实的治疗抑郁症，但其有效性的人际解释还没有完全发展。本文介绍了依恋理论和当代人际关系理论的整合，解释了人际互动如何有助于抑郁症的临床理解和通过IPT治疗。我们在一系列接受IPT治疗的抑郁症患者中检验了人际关系变化的假设。结果表明，在16周的治疗过程中，依恋不安全感和人际关系问题都得到了显着改善。需要进一步研究缓解抑郁症的人际关系过程。
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is an effective, pragmatic treatment for depression but interpersonal explanations of its effectiveness are not fully developed. This paper presents an integration of aspects of attachment theory and contemporary interpersonal theory which explains how interpersonal interactions contribute to a clinical understanding of depression and its treatment through IPT. We test hypotheses of interpersonal change in a case series of depressed patients treated with IPT. The results demonstrate that both attachment insecurity and interpersonal problems improve significantly over a 16 week course of treatment. Further research into the interpersonal processes that alleviate depression is needed.
