The Institute for Interpersonal Psychotherapy located in Toronto provides training, supervision and certification in Interpersonal Psychotherapy. Dr. Ron Frey and Cindy Goodman Stulberg, psychologists with a combined almost 50 years of clinical experience in IPT have trained and supervised mental health clinicians (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, psychiatric nurses) in Canada, the United States and Europe for the past 20 years. Our two day workshops provide theory and practice, show videotaped IPT client sessions and give participants an opportunity to practice IPT skills and receive feedback from Dr. Frey and Stulberg. We provide 1/2 day booster sessions to clinicians who have been trained and supervised to refresh skills, keep updated with current IPT literature and ask clinical questions. Our certification standards are based on the UK IPT model. Twice a year, in the spring and fall we provide training in Toronto. We individualize our training to meet participants needs based on their client populations including expertise in Eating Disorders, Adolescents, Families and Groups. www.interpersonalpsychotherapy.com info@ipt-institute.com

For those interested in learning IPT in Spanish, there are two books:
– Weissman, M., Markowitz, J. & Klerman, G. (2013). Manual de Psicoterapia Interpersonal. Editorial Grupo 5. Link: http://editorial.grupo5.net/publicaciones/manual-de-psicoterapia-interpersonal.html It is Weissman´s 2000 IPT guide translation, which was made by my colleague and ISIPT member Josep Sole-Puig.
– Garcia-Sanchez, J. & Palazon-Rodriguez, P (2013). Afronta tu depresion con psicoterapia interpersonal. Guia de autoayuda. 2ª Edicion. Desclee de Brouwer. Link: https://www.edesclee.com/tematicas/crecimiento-personal/afronta-tu-depresion-con-psicoterapia-interpersonal-guia-de-autoayuda-detail It is a self-help book, which was prefaced by Dr. Weissman, and which I wrote with my colleague Pepa.
IPT began to be practised in Barcelona by Josep Sole-Puig, who mainly trained residents in psychiatry and he still does in the context of Spanish national health system.
Both my colleague Pepa Palazon and I give workshops for residents in Clinical Psycology of the Servicio Murciano de Salud (which belongs to Spanish national health system). I also collaborate with universities of Murcia and Madrid teaching IPT in master’s degrees of health psychology.
