Deliberate practice exercises provide trainees and students an opportunity to build competence in essential interpersonal therapy skills while developing their own personal therapeutic style.
These exercises present role-playing scenarios in which two trainees act as a client and a clinician, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The clinician improvises appropriate and authentic responses to client statements organized into three difficulty levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—that reflect common client questions and concerns.
Each of the first 10 exercises focuses on a single skill, including developing an interpersonal inventory of patients’ relationships, building social skills, and helping patients connect with their own thoughts and emotions and empathize with others. Two comprehensive exercises follow in which trainees integrate these essential skills into a single session.
Step-by-step instructions guide participants through the exercises, identify criteria for mastering each skill, and explain how to monitor and adjust difficulty. Guidelines to help trainers and trainees get the most out of training are also provided.

Praise For Deliberate Practice in Interpersonal Psychotherapy
This book provides a cutting-edge approach to training a broad spectrum of providers in interpersonal psychotherapy. This is an important contribution to psychotherapy training that will be of interest to clinicians committed to providing quality, personalized, and “deliberate” clinical care. The clinical significance of this work is extraordinary.

I wish Deliberate Practice in Interpersonal Psychotherapy had been available when I was training in interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) many years ago. The book offers exercises for the beginning–and also the experienced–psychotherapist that provide a wealth of material to improve the practice of IPT, a therapy that looks easy from the outside but is difficult to practice in the real world. This book will help greatly in getting therapists to practice IPT in an effective way.
