A ACADEMIA DE PSICOTERAPIA INTERPESSOAL foi constituída em Janeiro de 2017, na continuidade das iniciativas pioneiras do INSTITUTO ORASI em Portugal, cujo crescimento ao longo dos anos levou à fusão com a EME SAÚDE em finais de 2016, para continuar a investir na formação dos profissionais portugueses na especialidade de Psicoterapia Interpessoal, tendo já ultrapassado 15 edições na formação de profissionais portugueses, essencialmente Médicos Psiquiatras e Psicólogos Clínicos.
A Academia de Psicoterapia Interpessoal tem como objectivos a realização anual do curso nível A desta psicoterapia e assim oferecer a oportunidade aos formandos de continuarem a formação em Psicoterapia Interpessoal através de supervisão de casos. Só após supervisão é que o formando será acreditado ou ostentar o título de psicoterapeuta interpessoal.
