About the Book

Re-written to incorporate the recent changes in DSM-IV, this new edition of The First Interview updates a text on interviewing that is rapidly becoming a standard in the field. Covering the range of problems and personalities that interviewers typically encounter; this accessible volume describes in step-by-step detail how to elicit crucial diagnostic details from even the most challenging patient. All references to tables and criteria have been updated and brief criteria for the most used diagnoses rewritten in accordance with DSM-IV. Based on the most recent research, this book specifies what should be asked as well as the best methods for asking. These effective techniques come to life in the book's numerous illustrative clinical vignettes and conversational, jargon-free style. This book will be of great interest to professionals and students in psychiatry, psychology, social work, and other mental health professions, as well as practitioners in medicine and nursing.

Review :
The book clearly reflects a wealth of experience--the number of clinical case exampl es is prodigious--as well as familiarity with theoretical issues and relevant research....May be recommended to the keener medical student, to all psychiatric trainees and to those of their seniors who may wonder if their long-ago acquired interviewing skills are as good as they might be. - British Journal of Psychiatry Overall, this is a very good book that should be assigned reading for all begi nning mental health professionals and should be reviewed by and available to all clinicians. This text can be a useful tool to continue to sharpen our skills at doing the best assessments we can in all of our interviews, whether they are the first or the last of a long treatment process. - American Journal of Psychiatry
