Abstract
This article reviews interpersonal psychotherapy for depressed adolescents (IPT-A). IPT-A is a time-limited, evidence-based psychotherapy for depressed, nonbipolar, nonpsychotic adolescents. The article focuses on goals and phases of IPT-A, identifies problem areas and core components of treatment, and discusses specific therapeutic techniques. Efficacy research and effectiveness studies of IPT-A are discussed. The limitations of the current knowledge and directions for future research are highlighted.Entities:
