This is a case of a 38-year-old married woman presenting with major depressive disorder one month after the birth of her third child. The depressive episode began in the context of interpersonal difficulties with her husband. In addition, she was also battling an internal conflict of continuing to pursue her career dream as an obstetrician and fulfilling her responsibility as a wife and a mother. Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) was selected as the treatment choice as an evidence-based peripartum treatment that could specifically address the two presenting problem areas, i.e., marital interpersonal dispute and role transition. This paper provides an illustration of IPT sessions conducted with verbatim selections of the sessions.
这是一个病例，一名38岁的已婚女性在生下第三个孩子一个月后出现重度抑郁症。抑郁发作始于她与丈夫的人际困难。此外，她还在内心纠结于继续追求自己作为产科医生的职业梦想，还是履行作为妻子和母亲的责任。人际心理治疗（IPT）被选为治疗方案，这是一种循证围产期治疗方法，能够专门解决两个突出问题领域，即婚姻人际纠纷和角色转变。本文通过逐字逐句选取治疗过程中的内容，展示了人际心理治疗的过程。
