ABSTRACT
Originally developed by Gerald Klerman and colleagues (1) for the management of unipolar depression, interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a brief, time-limited therapy that has been successfully adapted for the management of eating disorders. First successfully adapted for the management of bulimia nervosa (BN) (2,3), IPT has since proven effective, via an innovative group format, for binge eating disorder (BED). Currently, the role of IPT in the management of anorexia nervosa remains unclear.
