Publisher's Synopsis
This clinical interviewing primer blends a personal and easy–to–read style with a unique emphasis on both the scientific foundations and interpersonal aspects of mental health interviewing. Written from an integrative/eclectic perspective, this edition also incorporates modifications made necessary by the rise of managed care and by revised thinking in the interviewing field related to DSM–IV. New chapters have been added on suicide assessment interviewing; interviewing teens, couples, and families; multicultural interviewing; and stress management techniques for the interviewer.
