The Psychiatric Interview [PDF ebook] 
Evaluation and Diagnosis

The patient interview is at the heart of psychiatric practice.
Listening and interviewing skills are the primary tools the
psychiatrist uses to obtain the information needed to make an
accurate diagnosis and then to plan appropriate treatment. The
American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the Accrediting
Council on Graduate Medical Education identify interviewing skills
as a core competency for psychiatric residents.

The Psychiatric Interview: Evaluation and Diagnosis is a
new and modern approach to this topic that fulfils the need for
training in biopsychosocial assessment and diagnosis. It makes use
of both classical and new knowledge of psychiatric diagnosis,
assessment, treatment planning, and doctor-patient
collaboration. Written by world leaders in education, the book is
based on the acclaimed Psychiatry, Third Edition, by Tasman
and Kay et al., with new chapters to address assessment in
special populations and formulation. The psychiatric interview is
conceptualized as integrating the patient’s experience with
psychological, biological, and environmental components of the
illness.

This is an excellent new text for psychiatry residents at all
stages of their training. It is also useful for medical students
interested in psychiatry and for practicing psychiatrists who may
wish to refresh their interviewing skills.
