Book Reviews of Psychiatric Interviewing: The Art of Understanding
Book Review: A great learning tool
Summary: 5 Stars
The best book on interviewing in psychology and psychiatry I have read.
The book provides a rational and comprehensive approach to interviewing
that, if learned and used properly, can allow the clinician to obtain all
the necessary information in the shortest amount of time possible. Unlike other
books that present either a theory of interviewing or just techniques, this book
does both. Dr. Shea provides a rational theoretical approach to his interviewing
techniques that can be used by clinicians from a variety of disciplines and orientations.
Furthermore, Dr. Shea presents information on dealing with difficult issues in interviewing
such as homocidal and suicidal ideation. Finally, the book also provides information on learning
and teaching his interviewing style in formal supervision settings that is useful for students
and supervisors alike.
Summary of Psychiatric Interviewing: The Art of Understanding
The 2nd edition of this clinically based guidebook that focuses on the initial psychiatric interview provides practical suggestions for analyzing and altering the interview to mesh with the specific needs of the patient. Contains detailed discussions of how to open an interview, how to interpret nonverbal communication, how to make more natural transitions, and how to arrive at accurate diagnoses. Offers special techniques for eliciting information from depressed, psychotic, and personality-disordered patients. This edition presents updated DSM-IV criteria, new strategies in suicide assessment, and an annotated interview section accompanied by sample write-ups with tips in the appendix.Spanish version also available, ISBN: 84-8174-596-0
