IPT is particularly useful in helping clients recover from the loss of companion animals. It focuses on four key areas prominent in all human experience - grief and loss, role transitions, interpersonal disputes and interpersonal deficits. It aptly addresses all manner of disenfranchised grief, such as animal companion loss with its nonpatholigizing view of the human animal bond.
