Summary:

Dr. Ellen Frank conducts a single session of interpersonal therapy with a client who presents as an elderly black woman with a history of depression, and hospitalization for suicidality. The client has experienced significant grief and loss, and difficulties in relationships throughout her life. At the outset of the session, the client shares that she previously had success with anti-depressant medication, but no longer was taking them. Frank discusses depression and medication, and helps to reframe the client's perspective on anti-depressant medication. The client shares about her tumultuous relationship with an unfaithful male partner whom she was with for 15 years, and the death of one of her sons. Frank explores how the clients and her partners relationship expectations played a role in their difficulties. Importantly, the client shares about her painful relationship with her mother, whom she has conflicted feelings of both love and hate for. Her mother was abusive when the client was a child, and she had a sexual relationship with client's romantic partner. Throughout the session, Frank is empathic, supportive, and emphasizes the client's strengths. Frank conducts an interpersonal inventory, and helps the client identify her supportive relationships: her friends and her brothers. The client also discusses conflict with her youngest son around providing him financial support, and Frank explores ways that the client could improve their relationship. In closing, Frank reinforces the client's strengths and facilitates the client in planning for how she will continue to maintain her mental health going forward
