Book Description

Reflecting the new and exciting trends in psychotherapy as well as responsive to the current emphasis on efficient, substantial therapeutic results, this book presents a model of interpersonal, short term psychotherapy for clinically depressed patients. Gerald L. Klerman, whose research on depression has made him world renowned, and Myrna M. Weissman, who has written, with Eugene Paykel, an important book on women and depression, have worked with their colleagues to present the empirical basis for their new treatment method. This theory builds on the heritage of Harry Stack Sullivan and John Bowlby and their focus on interpersonal issues and attachment on depression. Research shows that four categories of interpersonal difficulties predominate: grief, interpersonal disputes, role transitions. and interpersonal deficits. In this approach, the therapist focuses on the patient's primary problems and evaluates the need for medication in addition to interpersonal therapy. Acknowledging that these four are never mutually exclusive, the authors present a clear treatment strategy for each, augmenting their presentation with a discussion of common obstacles that arise during treatment. As an overview, the book compares interpersonal psychotherapy with other psychotherapies for depression. Summaries of research documenting the efficacy of interpersonal psychotherapy are given. The authors outline the theoretical basis for an interpersonal approach, and apply it to depression. The following sections detail how to conduct interpersonal psychotherapy, supplying case vignettes to illustrate particular problems. Finally, the authors explore combining interpersonal psychotherapy with pharmacotherapy.

4 out of 5 stars Talking about Talking.......2003-09-09

This is the how-to-do-it text for interpersonal therapy (IP). It's directed at fellow professionals rather than the general public In fact the last page suggests that you can learn to do IP just by reading the book, if you started off as an experienced therapist. A caveat is that the authors say they found that those who did best on a written examination based on the book were (in the authors' opinion) the worst therapists.
IP is based on Harry Stack Sullivan's theories, so you could be a Sullivanian interpersonal therapist without being a Klermanian IP.
The Sullivanian theory was that our personality is made up of the way we react to other people. We start off with an empty slate and then people start communicating with us us and we communicate back. All mental illness was due to something wrong in the way we relate to people.
Klerman et al don't make a great deal of the theory. Their therapy (only meant for mild depression) consists of talking to patients about how they communicate. This casts a wide net and many therapists who just sit and chat with their patients will recognize the style. Underlying subconscious motives are probed for to some extent. Depressed people must be holding back their real feelings and not communicating freely. Letting it all hang out and saying what you mean is the key to happiness.
They differentiate themselves from Beck (the cognitive therapy man)by only seeking to change behavior in relation to significant people in the patient's life, but this covers a wide field. In fact a difficulty for advocates of IP is distinguishing themselves from just being nice sympathetic listeners willing to talk about problems (which is not such a terrible thing to be).
They make is sound more scientific at times by means of empty polysyllabic phrases such as "clarification of emotional states, improvement of interpersonal communication, and testing of perceptions and performance through interpersonal contact." This sort of stuff makes the book hard going in parts.
The therapy is supposed to be short-term, and one useful chapter of the book is a summary of the rival short-term psychotherapies.
Interpersonal therapy is supposed to be better than the others because of having been tested in controlled trials. This is really the major selling point and it's one that is difficult to evaluate here. You have to check the journals. The results of the controlled trials are controversial and are more equivocal than the book indicates (It was published in 1984). Some careful and impartial evaluators have suggested that it all comes back to what Jerome Frank said years ago in "Persuasion and Healing" namely that the character and experience of the therapist is more important than the school of thought.

5 out of 5 stars Very Interpersonal.......2000-10-19

In regards to the first review (Interpersonal???), Klerman is the original developer of ITP. You aren't going to get any closer to "true" ITP than this. Teyber, Kiesler, and the other interpersonal dynamic writers (e.g., Ehrenberg, Levenson)are really just neo-Klerman. This is a great book.

3 out of 5 stars interpersonal?.......2000-04-18

The version of interpersonal therapy detailed in this manual differs markedly from more truly "interpersonal" approaches such as those described by Teyber, Kiesler, or any of the interpersonal dynamic writers (e.g., Ehrenberg, Levenson). As manuals go, it's all right. But (like many other manuals), it seems to present an overly simplified view of people, their problems, and the process of change. And (most disappointing to me), it fails to use the interpersonal relationship in the therapy room as a vehicle for understanding and resolving the client's difficulties.

5 out of 5 stars all serious psychotherapists should read this book.......2000-01-26

This is basically a "how-to" manual detailing one of the few "empirically validated treatments" for major depression - i.e., a treatment that really, truly helps. Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is as effective as either Beck's cognitive therapy or antidepressant medications. Since every therapist encounters depression on a regular basis, how can you justify ignorance of this (short-term!) approach? The book is readable and well organized; someone already trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy could probably improve clinical practice based on the book along, though specialized training would surely be helpful as well. The approach makes sense to patients, too!

    Book Description

    Are You Being Gaslighted?
    Check for these telltale signs:
    1.
    You constantly second-guess yourself.
    2. You wonder, “Am I being too sensitive?” a dozen times a day.
    3. You wonder frequently if you are a “good enough” girlfriend/wife/employee/friend/daughter.
    4. You have trouble making simple decisions.
    5. You think twice before bringing up innocent topics of conversation.
    6. You frequently make excuses for your partner’s behavior to friends and family.
    7. Before your partner comes home from work, you run through a checklist in your head to anticipate anything you might have done wrong that day.
    8. You buy clothes for yourself, furnishings for your apartment, or other personal purchases thinking about what your partner would like instead of what would make you feel great.
    9. You actually start to enjoy the constant criticism, because you think, “What doesn’t kill me will make me stronger.”
    10. You start speaking to your husband through his secretary so you don’t have to tell him things you’re afraid might upset him.
    11. You start lying to avoid the put-downs and reality twists.
    12. You feel as though you can’t do anything right.
    13. You frequently wonder if you’re good enough for your lover.
    14. Your kids start trying to protect you from being humiliated by your partner.
    15. You feel hopeless and joyless.

    Your husband crosses the line in his flirtations with another woman at a dinner party. When you confront him, he asks you to stop being insecure and controlling. After a long argument, you apologize for giving him a hard time.

    Your boss backed you on a project when you met privately in his office, and you went full steam ahead. But at a large gathering of staff—including yours—he suddenly changes his tune and publicly criticizes your poor judgment. When you tell him your concerns for how this will affect your authority, he tells you that the project was ill-conceived and you’ll have to be more careful in the future. You begin to question your competence.

    Your mother belittles your clothes, your job, your friends, and your boyfriend. But instead of fighting back as your friends encourage you to do, you tell them that your mother is often right and that a mature person should be able to take a little criticism.

    If you think things like this can’t happen to you, think again. Gaslighting is when someone wants you to do what you know you shouldn’t and to believe the unbelieveable. It can happen to you and it probably already has.

    How do we know? If you consider answering “yes” to even one of the following questions, you’ve probably been gaslighted:

    Does your opinion of yourself change according to approval or disapproval from your spouse?

    When your boss praises you, do you feel as if you could conquer the world?

    Do you dread having small things go wrong at home—buying the wrong brand of toothpaste, not having dinner ready on time, a mistaken appointment written on the calendar?

    Gaslighting is an insidious form of emotional abuse and manipulation that is difficult to recognize and even harder to break free from. That’s because it plays into one of our worst fears—of being abandoned—and many of our deepest needs: to be understood, appreciated, and loved. In this groundbreaking guide, the prominent therapist Dr. Robin Stern shows how the Gaslight Effect works and tells you how to:
    Turn up your Gaslight Radar, so you know when a relationship is headed for trouble

    Determine whether you are enabling a gaslighter

    Recognize the Three Stages of Gaslighting: Disbelief, Defense, and Depression

    Refuse to be gaslighted by using the Five Rules for Turning Off the Gas

    Develop your own “Gaslight Barometer” so you can decide which relationships can be saved—and which you have to walk away from

    Learn how to Gasproof Your Life so that you’ll never again choose another gaslighting relationship

    5 out of 5 stars Getting attacked? It's not about you.......2007-06-10

    As a career consultant, I find myself saying often, "It's not about you." You blew the interview? Your boss keeps insulting you? Some interviews are a sham -- the company wonders who's out there or the boss wants to hire somebody's relative. And some bosses have their own agendas.

    This book goes into much more depth about all kinds of situations where it's appropriate to say, "It's not about you." I like Stern's comparison to talking to a four-year-old who insists candy is a vegetable. You don't get into an argument. You know you're right. So you don't waste time worrying what she'll think of you when you hold firm in your position.

    If nothing else, readers will take away a new understanding of frustrating interactions. Sometimes the other person will never "get it." You have to focus on escaping their influence. It's especially difficult with family and bosses, but easier when you recognize the dynamic.

    You learn to say, "We will have to discontinue this project because I think we are not on the same length," not, "I can't work with someone who won't keep deadlines and does sloppy work."

    You can say, "Yes, maybe I am selfish when I won't offer free services to your needy friend."

    Or "I will not continue the conversation when you speak to me in that tone."

    Readers who remember the popularity of assertiveness training from the 70s will recognize some of Stern's techniques and will want to add their own. For instance, in my own experience, it's rarely helpful to set up a time to talk and explain, "Next time you interrupt me I will leave the room." I would rather just do it.

    I enjoyed reading Stern's examples of "flight attendants" who serve as barometers of when to worry and when to shrug off an incident, analogous to flight attendants who remain calm and cheery through most bumps of flight but get serious when there's real trouble ahead. I like the way she encourages readers to pay attention to small Stage 1 incidents because they can easily turn to bigger incidents that threaten our entire quality of life.

    Finally, I think Stern's techniques would be appropriate for dealing with difficult professionals, such as arrogant medical professionals. You could also use them when you're a consumer of products or services, or when you're dealing with difficult clients of your own.

    Hopefully readers will take away a lifetime message: "You're probably not stuck here. You can leave. The price may be high but ultimately you will be much better off."



    5 out of 5 stars A well-written, compassionate look at troubling relationships.......2007-06-02

    Robin Stern's book really opened my eyes to the importance of filtering feedback and monitoring emotional responses. It was easy to understand the questions, explanations, and stages and to implement the suggestions. This book is such a valuable tool for the study of relationships.

    5 out of 5 stars A work of wisdom.......2007-05-14

    The book teaches one how to explicate what seems like the commonplace. If you have that uneasy feeling in the presence of those to whom you are connected but don't entirely trust, The Gaslight Effect can provide you with insight into many hidden dynamics that can create that unsettling experience. This book is for anyone who lives and thrives in the company of others but has trouble keeping their bearings in the presence of strong and manipulative people.

    5 out of 5 stars Innovative and original.......2007-05-08

    Robin Stern takes on the relationships we have with people who do us wrong over and over again yet manage to leave us thinking we are to blame for their actions. She is smart and eerily accurate in her descriptions of these troubled and frequently abusive friendships, romances and business partnerships. I only wish she had written this book sooner.

    5 out of 5 stars Finding your way to healthier relationships... AN INVITATION YOU CAN'T REFUSE........2007-05-05

    Dr. Stern's book is really an invitation (and guide) to regaining perspective in those relationships where you experience a power imbalance. This book can help you find a way out of the destructive behavior patterns that help maintain that power imbalance. Whether you are on the receiving or giving end of this type of emotional abuse (gaslighting), you will find this book a compassionate companion during trying times. I don't know anyone who wouldn't benefit from reading this book!

      2 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointing.......2007-04-22

      Much less helpful and informative than the Comprehensive Guide to IPT by Weissman, Klerman , and Markowitz. Perhaps appropriate for patients whose knowledge of clinical depression is minimal, but not useful for the kind of sophisticated, Internet-savvy, psychologically-minded patients who typically seek assistance with the issues for which IPT is so masterfully designed.

          This book addresses the treatment of chronic depression, a frequently underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and mistreated psychiatric disorder. The book is both a treatment guide for psychotherapists and an explanatory guide for interested patients. (There is an unfortunate shortage of popular literature about chronic depression.)

            Book Description

            The true integration of interpersonal, social psychology, and cognitive-behavioral approaches is the most important theoretical issue in the field of the psychology of depression, and yet it has not been well addressed in any forum. The Interpersonal, Cognitive, and Social Nature of Depression was written to provide cutting-edge research and theoretical perspectives on this issue. Its goal is to concretize and celebrate an integrative approach to the understanding of depression, and to foster its sequelae, by bringing together primary figures from interpersonal, cognitive, and behavioral viewpoints for state-of-the-art treatment of the psychology of depression.

            In addition, this book provides:

            * an integration of these perspectives on depression research to help guide researchers in developing projects;

            * up-to-date research findings to help researchers update their knowledge of depression research;

            * a detailed review of studies evaluating the effectiveness of cognitive therapy for treatment and prevention of depression;

            * focused chapters on issues related to depression in childhood and adolescence; and

            * chapters presenting research focusing on both the manic and depressed phases of bipolar disorder.


            This text will appeal to a diverse audience from several sources: clinical practitioners, sociology, psychology, psychiatry, researchers, and graduate students in these fields.
