Abstract

This is a case study of two depressed women who were able to benefit from a 16-week course of InterpersonalPsychotherapy. This well-established brief psychotherapy has become increasingly available throughout the UK. The focus of this biopsychosocial approach that is on change within the patients interpersonal world means a more active goal-focused approach that addresses symptomatic and emotional concerns using the individuals narrative. In both cases, there was a significant reported change in their depression, initial presenting problems, understanding of their difficulties and interpersonal functioning.
