This article briefly describes the fundamental principles and some of the clinical applications of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), a time-limited, empirically validated treatment for mood disorders. IPT has been tested with general success in a series of clinical trials for mood and, increasingly, non-mood disorders; as both an acute and maintenance treatment; and in differing treatment formats. As a result of this research success, IPT is spreading from research trials to clinical practice in various countries around the world.
本文简要介绍了人际心理治疗（IPT）的基本原则及其一些临床应用。人际心理治疗是一种针对情绪障碍的限时、经实证验证的治疗方法。在一系列针对情绪障碍以及越来越多针对非情绪障碍的临床试验中，人际心理治疗已得到普遍验证；它既作为急性治疗也作为维持治疗，并且有不同的治疗形式。由于这项研究取得成功，人际心理治疗正在从研究试验推广到世界各国的临床实践中。
