Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Paternal Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Ten percent of new fathers experience mental health challenges. Fathers with untreated mental illness struggle to strive, promote their child’s development, increase the risk of child and maternal psychopathology, and jeopardize housing, employment, and relationship. Therefore, fathers require support and there are currently no evidence based programs which have been implemented to support new fathers.
This training will develop participants’ capacity to treat fathers struggling with Paternal Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) using Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). Participants will learn to identify typical gender-specific hallmarks of paternal PMADs symptoms and differentiate between different diagnoses. Additionally, participants will learn to apply and practice specific IPT strategies to treat fathers struggling with these types of challenges.
The course will consist of didactic presentations and participant interactions. Interspersed in the presentation will be videotapes of the course director and other experts conducting IPT. Group discussion, role-playing and review of participant videotapes will help to synthesize the information and examples presented.
