- IPR = Interpersonal Relationship Method, developed by Dr. Milind Rao
- "When a patient comes, we need to perceive whether his concern is his disease or his frustration to do daily activities with support of others"

- Produces well-being within 15-30 minutes
- Closes the gap between college theory and actual clinic practice
