Praise for 2E: "This book...represents a thorough and well-written presentation of the strategies, processes, and interactions necessary for the effective clinical interview...highly recommended..." (Albert B. Hood, University of Iowa for APA Review of Books)One of the best books on clinical interviewing just got better. Theincreased emphasis on multicultural issues and new sections on thescience of interviewing and intake report writing are particularlywelcome additions.
This is easily one of the best books on clinical interviewingavailable and makes an outstanding text for advanced undergraduatesand beginning graduate students in the helping professions. Insuccessfully blending theory, scholarly research, and richlyillustrated clinical examples, the authors bring the material tolife.
The book stands out in the competitive field of clinicalinterviewing texts. In addition to providing invaluable informationon basic interviewing skills, it addresses advanced topics such asassessment, treatment planning, and important multicultural issues.
Exceptionally clear and well-written, this book provides beginninggraduate students in the helping professions with invaluableinformation on learning how to conduct effective clinicalinterviews. Highly recommended.
A worthwhile addition to the library of any helping professional,this book offers mu ch more than most beginning-level texts onhelping skills. Chapters on suicide assessment, conductingeffective mental status examinations, diagnosis and treatmentplanning, interviewing children and families, and multiculturalissues set it apart from similar texts.
