Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
IPT does not focus on addressing chemical imbalances, as it is a talk therapy that primarily focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and communication. The other three options (deficits in interpersonal skills, interpersonal role disputes, and severe response to the death of a loved one) are all types of problems that IPT can address.
