Review
"This volume is more than a simple how to do it' book, although it does that with great clarity. It is comprehensive and therefore likely to be useful to professionals with very different levels of training and experience....[It] addresses both scholarly and practical issues related to a very promising treatment of a common disorder. I strongly recommend it to all clinicians who treat adolescents with depression." --From the Foreword by David Shaffer, MD

"Depression is common among adolescents and especially difficult to diagnose, manage, and treat. This book provides a well-planned and practical approach that will be useful for clinicians of diverse orientations. The special strength of the book is its focus on the relationship aspects of adolescent depression. This volume shows how relationships--often a source of great difficulty for depressed adolescents--can be turned into great opportunities." --Allen Frances, MD

"Psychotherapy with adolescents has often been deemed impossible at most, frustrating at best. In a brilliant new book, the authors of INTERPERSONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR DEPRESSED ADOLESCENTS provide a solution to the problem. A brief psychotherapeutic intervention for adolescents that works, IPT-A is grounded in Bowlby's attachment paradigm that anxiety and depression are part of the human condition and may become pathological states when significant losses or changes in relationships occur. It is a well-established treatment modality for adults which, unlike most psychotherapies, has been subject to as much scientific scrutiny as any drug trial. IPT-A is specifically tailored to the adolescent developmental tasks ofseparation, transition, and identity formation and is especially well suited for the population of adolescents who are bereaved, depressed, or experiencing interpersonal problems. A lucidly-written manual of operations describes the time-limited treatment (12 weeks) with the goals of improving the adolescents' self-esteem, clarification of the current problems including specific symptoms, and identification of effective techniques. Families are always included and other modalities, i.e., pharmacotherapy may be used in conjunction with IPT-A. Ample illustrative case vignettes are provided. I recommend INTERPERSONAL PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR DEPRESSED ADOLESCENTS to mental health professionals who work with adolescents as an important enhancement to their clinical armamentarium." --Clarice Kestenbaum, MD, College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University

"Moreover, I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is involved with treatment of adolescent patients, regardless of his or her approach." --Karger
