摘要
Intimate partner violence (IPV) and depression are significant public health problems, yet there are no empirically tested treatments for community-based, clinically depressed women with IPV histories. This uncontrolled pilot study examined the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary benefits of a community-based administration of brief, group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for depressed women with lifetime histories of IPV (IPT for IPV) to reduce depressive symptoms and improve interpersonal function. We recruited 32 women ages 18 years and older with moderately severe to severe depressive symptoms and IPV histories from a community agency serving women who have experienced IPV. We conducted assessments 1-week prior to treatment and 1-week and 3-months posttreatment. Our feasibility findings indicated that 21 nontreatment-seeking women (65.6%) began treatment and attended a mean of 5.9 (SD = 2.1) sessions. Our initial findings suggest the viability of delivering IPT for IPV in a community agency, as well as its significant potential in reducing depressive symptom severity and interpersonal dysfunction. Therefore, IPT for IPV should be explored further as an effective treatment for depressed women with IPV histories.
