Short-term heart rate variability (S-HRV) is a valid and reliable measure of health and therapy effectiveness. Pignotti makes critical assertions about S-HRV with no evidence or authoritative support for these curious assertions. Short-term measures have advantages over long-term measures. The power of Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is demonstrated through unprecedented HRV improvements as well as other physiologic indices such as skin color, microscopic measures, and increases in T-cell numbers after successful TFT. Bilchick and associates' hypothesis (2002), "Each increase of 10 ms in standard deviation of normal-to-normal (SDNN) conferred a 20% decrease in risk of mortality (p = .0001)," is a bold and speculative position that appears to have general, if not highly specific, merit when applied to all groups investigated with HRV.
UNLABELLED: Psychotherapy is a particular form of treatment in Psychiatry. Its use is widespread and has many different approaches. OBJECTIVE: In this article, the author makes some considerations about Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), a brief and focal psychotherapy. Initially created to treat depression, other researchers had successfully increase its spectrum. It could be divided in three phases.

Intermediary when the focus is treated, and the final phase when the therapist encourages the patient to recognize and consolidate gains and prepare the patient to use it in the future. METHODS: It is stressed that IPT is a testable form of psychotherapy and the scientific evidences of its efficacy are showed. CONCLUSIONS: The results assure that IPT is an efficient form of psychotherapy for depression with a great acceptability from the patients.
