IPT for Eating Disorders

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) for Eating Disorders is a structured treatment that focuses on improving relationships and social functioning to help individuals with eating issues. It recognizes that problems in interpersonal relationships can contribute to eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia. Through IPT, patients learn to identify and address these relationship patterns and develop better communication and coping skills. The goal is to reduce symptoms by fostering emotional support and improving social connections, creating a healthier approach to food and body image, ultimately aiding recovery.
