Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Primary Care Medicine

Background:

  • Interpersonal Counselling (IPC) is a brief therapeutic approach derived from Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT).
  • IPC is specifically adapted for the primary care setting, offering a shorter duration and fewer sessions than traditional IPT.
  • Psychological symptoms, including depression, often occur within a social and interpersonal context, influenced by factors like grief, disputes, role transitions, and social isolation.

Observation:

  • This article explores the application and benefits of Interpersonal Counselling (IPC) within general practice.
  • The objective is to detail how IPC can be effectively utilized in a primary care environment.

Findings:

  • IPC is structured as a brief, six-session treatment.
  • Each session has a defined focus: assessment, psychoeducation on the link between relationships and symptoms, identification of current stressors, and positive coping strategies.
  • The process includes a planned termination of the therapeutic relationship.

Implications:

  • Interpersonal Counselling (IPC) can be implemented in general practice to alleviate psychological symptoms.
  • IPC has the potential to enhance patient morale, self-esteem, and overall quality of social adjustment and interpersonal relationships.
