Interpersonal Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is an revolutionary form of therapy that falls under the umbrella term of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I-CBT was developed by Dr. Thomas A. Cordier. Although the therapy embraces the majority of guidelines and the implementation of CBT, the I-CBT concept also focuses a great deal on neurology and the interpersonal/intrapersonal skills necessary for patients to maintain wellness and integrate better in society. Many people mistake that Interpersonal is simply the relationship between the therapist and patient, although this therapeutic alliance is critical, the emotional intelligence is a fundamental key to optimal patient outcomes. I-CBT not only serves as a treatment modality but is also a treatment system that coincides with individual treatment, involving various forms of I-CBT groups, behavioral training for parents and specialized treatment for children and adolescents with special needs. I-CBT is also very effective for military members and veterans struggling with PTSD and readjusting to civilian life. The treatment of patients and the training of clinicians using the I-CBT system are universal in that patient treatment and clinician training of the CBT methods are presented in a similar fashion.Each patient is assigned one-on-one therapy, group therapy, and a variety of other treatments depending upon individual needs. For many, the treatment lasts approximately 16 - 20 weeks, however, the treatment is tailored to each individual patient. When a person is ready to "graduate"​, their treatment scores have significantly been reduced, in remission, or eliminated.
