The Psychiatric Interview by Daniel J Carlat

The Psychiatric Interview by Daniel J Carlat

This publication is included on the ANCC: American Nurses Credentialing Center's reference list. With an engaging conversational style, The Psychiatric Interview, focuses on the practical skills psychiatrists need to conduct effective psychiatric interviews. The book begins with the general principles essential to effective interviewing , and guides readers through a range of issues, including the seductive patient, the malingerer, borderline personalities, and others. The new edition includes information on interviews to help readers complete important rating scales and also provides practical tips on working with electronic medical records in the setting of a psychiatric interview.

I found this book to be user friendly and quite practicalHandy mnemonics appear throughout the book to help readers recall essential concepts, and the author goes to great lengths to tailor information to his audience so that it is not overwhelming. Case examples are productive, and though some detail is omitted for the sake of brevity, they remain effective in highlighting important components. Overall, this is a book I will recommend to those who are new to the field. ----------------------------------------------------------- Weighted Numerical Score: 83 - 3 Stars -Doody Enterprises, Inc.
