Description
Interpersonal Counseling (IPC) is a concise, patient-centered approach to managing depression, which reduces the burden of primary care. This approach is a brief psychological intervention that lasts six or optionally seven 60-minute sessions. The main principle of IPC is that the symptoms of depression are related to interpersonal relationships. By affecting interpersonal relationships, depressive symptoms can be reduced in an optimistic and supportive way. The treatment manual is available through the WHO. This intervention was extracted directly from IPT to have a similar result with less cost and time.
