人际心理治疗的发展

The Development of Interpersonal Psychotherapy

人际心理治疗是一种有时间限制、基于操作手册和生活事件、诊断指向的实证性心理治疗方法。它最初主要被用于重型抑郁成年患者的门诊治疗，现已被用于治疗多种心理障碍。人际心理治疗过程变化包括：是否还赋予患者”病人”角色、人际关系问题领域的变化、如何处理结束和安排时间等。不过，有关治疗过程的研究还很少。为了更好地满足大众的需要，它与其它心理治疗成分进行了整合及其自身的简化，文章最后讨论了人际心理治疗发展的特点和问题。

Interpersonal psychotherapy is a time─limited， manual─and─life─event based， diagnosis─targeted， and empirically tested treatment， which was originally developed for adult out─patients diagnosed with major depression and now for many sorts of disorders. There are some changes in its therapy process， including whether or not to give patients a “sick role”， what to include in its problem areas， and how to deal with its termination and arrange time. Besides， this article provides a few process studies， analyses its briefness and integration with other psychotherapeutic factors and at last offers a discussion of features and problems of interpersonal psychotherapy’s development.
