简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare two talking forms of therapy designed to help reduce depressive symptoms in teenagers: Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents and Treatment as Usual.
详细描述
Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPT-A) is a manualized short-term therapeutic intervention that has been shown to be efficacious in a number of randomized control trials for adolescent depression. The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate the feasibility of incorporating Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPT-A) into routine psychotherapeutic treatment at Strong Behavioral Health: Child and Adolescent Outpatient. The second aim of the present investigation is to examine changes in adolescent symptomatology, interpersonal functioning, perceived stress, and social support throughout the course of treatment. The third aim of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of IPT-A versus treatment as usual (TAU) at reducing depressive symptoms among adolescents.
