Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured psychological treatment developed for the management of depressive disorder that has been further refined and evaluated in the treatment of older adults. IPT is based on attachment, communication and social theories and focuses on the interpersonal origins and effects of depression. In this chapter, the delivery of IPT is described and illustrated with a case example. The four possible foci in IPT (complicated bereavement, role transition, interpersonal disputes, and interpersonal deficits) are explained. The evidence base for the efficacy of IPT in late-life depression is reviewed, including the Maintenance Therapies in Late Life Depression trials. Newer applications, including care management interventions and the treatment of anxiety, are described.

Evidence Based Treatments

The recent increase in the aging population, specifically in the United States, has raised concerns regarding treatment for mental illness among older adults. Late-life depression (LLD) is a complex condition that has become widespread among the aging population. Despite the availability of behavioral interventions and psychotherapies, few depressed older adults actually receive treatment. In this paper we review the research on refining treatments for LLD. We first identify evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for LLD and the problems associated with efficacy and dissemination, then review approaches to conceptualizing mental illness, specifically concepts related to brain plasticity and the Research Domain Criteria (RDoc). Finally, we introduce ENGAGE as a streamlined treatment for LLD and discuss implications for future research.
