Overview of IPT for Eating Disorders
IPT for Eating Disorders is a free online course to support mental health professionals who work in college counseling settings. The premise of IPT for Eating Disorders is to link the onset and maintenance of symptoms to interpersonal events in a patient's life.
The treatment is ideal for use in a college-aged population because it is:
- Readily accepted by both clinicians and patients
- Applicable to a wide range of patients, especially those with high weight concerns and low self-esteem
- Pertinent to interpersonal issues and role transitions, which are common in college students
