About This Quiz

Interpersonal psychotherapy is definitely not a study as it can be considered to be a constant practice by the psychotherapist.
It aims to build a temporary relationship with an individual, after which the person's personal problems or issues will be solved. The program isn't long and only takes a few weeks. Nevertheless, the field does need a lot of skill to accomplish.

    • Depression

    Explanation
    Interpersonal psychotherapy is not effective for dementia because it primarily focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and communication skills.

Instead, other interventions such as cognitive stimulation therapy or medication management are typically used to manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
