As part of our program, interns
attend didactic lectures taught by our specialists, join our daily case rounds and participate in journal discussions.
Each therapist
attended 40 hours of
didactic lectures and videotape presentations, meeting the standard for training of IPT therapists used in extramural research projects.29 The training was designed to foster competence in IPT and included a detailed review of the treatment manual, using videotaped sessions to illustrate each of the interpersonal problem areas and the strategies used to address them.
