EDITION
THE FIRST INTERVIEW
Revised for DSM-IV
James Morrison, M.D.
Guilford Publications, 2008
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Readers of this book will learn how to conduct a successful diagnostic interview.
Keyed to DSM-IV diagnoses and covering the range of problems and personalities that interviewers encounter, it describes in detail how to best approach the challenging client and how to elicit critical diagnostic information. Among the many approaches discussed, readers will learn how to give free rein to the informative client, guide the rambling one, encourage the silent client, and mollify the hostile one. Covering both content and process, the book not only details what should be asked, but also describes the best methods for posing clinical questions.
Test available from ISHK exclusively. Book can be purchased from ISHK or through Guilford's website www.guilford.com.
