Reviews

"In my view, all trainees and advanced clinicians wishing to learn IPT or to hone their general psychotherapy skills will stand to benefit considerably from reading and studying this welcome and edifying book. And, although I have been teaching IPT formally and informally to residents as well as to others for several decades, I know that from now on, I'll personally be using the Casebook of Interpersonal Psychotherapy to enrich my instruction." -- JOEL YAGER, M.D., American Journal of Psychiatry "In the meantime, for clinicians working on the front lines in a highly pressured managed-care environment, Markowitz and Weissman have provided a clear set of therapeutic techniques for a wide range of disorders with an easily assimilable theory supported by research and presented in the medical lingua franca of our evidence-based culture. As they themselves urge at the end of the book, now it's time for their readers to let them know whether IPT actually makes sense and works for them." -- PsycCRITIQUES "This book is an important addition to the literature on brief psychotherapy. It will be useful to both the novice and the experienced psychotherapist. It will prod therapists who primarily provide more extensive psychotherapies to consider more actively when a brief therapy such as IPT may allow the patient to achieve meaningful and lasting change. Additionally, the extensive bibliography is an excellent resource for those wishing to learn more about psychotherapy research." -- Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
