Interpersonal Therapy focuses on interpersonal relationships and strategies for improving communication patterns. It explores how the client relates to others so that there is a positive impact in the individual’s life and social connections.

Techniques can include: Identifying emotions and reflecting in order to question where they are coming from. Expressing emotion in healthy and productive ways. Dealing with past unresolved issues that are carrying over into new relationships. The results tend to be that the individual is in a better position to be objective in their present relationships.
