Study Summary

Interpersonal Counseling (IPC) is brief, structured modification of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). IPC was developed as a brief triage manual to treat depression in primary care, family practice and non-mental health programs, and work and educational settings. College and university students are at the age where first episodes of depression, bipolar disorder, or psychosis may occur. IPC is relevant for this population as many university students' distress are related to profound life changes, role transitions, loneliness and social/cultural isolation, which are focuses of treatment in IPC. While there is considerable evidence for the efficacy of IPT and IPC, this adaptation for university students has not yet been studied. The investigators propose to administer IPC to across several college campuses, and to recruit 20 participants at each counseling center. Participants will receive 3-6 one-hour therapy sessions, and will complete self-report measures of depression, psychosocial functioning, college adjustment, and treatment satisfaction. IPC has the potential to reduce depressive symptoms and prevent presenting symptoms from worsening. For these reasons, developing and testing a brief, yet comprehensive psychosocial intervention for distressed college students has tremendous importance.
