儿童虐待现象在国内频生，童年虐待经历对其影响巨大，有童年虐待经历的成人深受其抑郁症状的困扰。人际心理治疗是一种短程高效的心理治疗方法，通过帮助来访者学习实用的人际沟通技巧来改善人际关系，从而达到缓解抑郁症状的效果。本文以文献综述和一例个案研究的方式介绍了人际心理治疗应用于干预有童年虐待经历的抑郁症状成人来访者的过程。经过对一例个案连续10周每周1次的咨询，来访者的抑郁症状有明显改善，来访者在病人健康问卷-9上的分数与前侧相比有显著改善，并稳定在正常值的范围。研究者通过使用人际心理治疗的干预方法帮助个案重新建立人际关系和社会支持系统，摆脱抑郁症状困扰。研究者在此个案研究中详细介绍了对此有童年受虐经历的来访者的个案概念化，咨询过程及其效果以及反思，证明了人际心理治疗对此个案的有效性。由于个案研究本身的限制，该治疗方法的普及性还有待今后进一步的检验，但是希望该研究能为该群体的人际心理治疗的推广做出一定的贡献。
