In December of 2007 we create the Portuguese Interpersonal Psychoterapy Society in order to continue the development of this psychotherapy in our country. Before in 2003 it took place two courses of 20 hours each in two hospitals in Lisbon (Hospital S. Francisco Xavier and Hospital Sta Maria) with the partnership of Spanish Interpersonal Psychoterapy Association and colleagues from Madrid (Francisco Aguado and Maria Dièguez) and Barcelona (Sole Puig and Lecina Fernandez). After those courses a group of psychologists and psychiatrists start to use this psychotherapy in clinical practice in Portugal with the supervision of the colleagues from Spain. This psychoterapy was applied in public and private clinic, for depression, anxiety, grief and cronic physical diseases like diabetes.

We will describe the developments of this psychoterapy in Portugal, the future plans for it spread and the ongoing research studies.

Note: This presentation was included in the proposal we did before for the simposium "Developments in Psychoterapy: Interpersonal Psychoetrapy" propose by Dr. Carlos Góis.
