Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a form of psychotherapy used to treat a variety of psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, Bulimia nervosa, and communication disorders.

Interpersonal therapy was first developed as a theoretical placebo for the use in psychotherapy research by Gerald Klerman et. al. IPT was, however, found to be quite effective in the treatment of several psychological problems.

IPT is based on the belief that psychological problems are due to communication problems, which are formed due to attachment styles.
