Synopsis:
Revised and updated, this practical handbook is the only succinct "how-to" guide to the psychiatric diagnostic interview. In an engaging style with many clinical vignettes, Dr. Carlat outlines effective techniques for approaching threatening topics, improving patient recall, dealing with challenging patients, obtaining the psychiatric history, assessing specific disorders, educating the patient, and negotiating a treatment plan. This edition's updated chapters on the major psychiatric disorders include new vignettes and research findings relevant to diagnosis. An appendix section includes data forms, patient education handouts, and other practical, frequently needed information that readers can easily photocopy and carry.
