Ellen Frank, PhD, is a distinguished professor of psychiatry
and a professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh
School of Medicine and director of the Depression and
Manic-Depression Prevention Program at the Western Psychiatric
Institute and Clinic of the University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center. She completed her undergraduate work in drama at Vassar
College in Poughkeepsie, New York, completed a master's degree in
English at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
and obtained her PhD in psychology at the University of Pittsburgh.
She received her training in interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) from
Drs. Gerald Klerman, Myrna Weissman, and Bruce Rounsaville
in the early 1980s. Since that time, Dr. Frank and her
colleagues have developed a series of adaptations of IPT, including
those for preventative maintenance treatment of unipolar depression
and for the acute and maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder,
each of which they have subsequently validated in empirical
studies.
Jessica C. Levenson, MS, is a PhD candidate in clinical
psychology at the University of Pittsburgh. She received a BA from
Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, and an MS from the
University of Pittsburgh. Ms. Levenson's work focuses on the
mechanistic understanding and treatment of mood disorders. Her
recent work has focused on identifying the patient and treatment
characteristics that may differentiate those patients who benefit
most from interpersonal psychotherapy.
