When may IPT not be the best fit?

  1. You want to focus more on behavior change, like in OCD or phobias, CBT might be better.
  2. Your struggles are deeply rooted in trauma, and you need trauma-specific approaches (like EMDR or prolonged exposure).
  3. You’re dealing with severe psychosis or dissociation, though IPT can be used adjunctively, it’s not the primary treatment here.
  4. You prefer exploring unconscious processes, dreams, or family dynamics in depth (a more psychodynamic approach might suit you better).
