Study Notes
Types of Interviews
- Unstructured interviews: clinician interviews client based on a loose set of goals and questions, using open questions to encourage elaborate answers.
- Semi-structured interviews: specific questions set by clinician, allowing some flexibility in how and what is asked.
- Structured diagnostic interviews: very specific format for asking questions and determining follow-up questions, used to make diagnoses.
Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5)
- Designed to cover DSM-5 disorders, administered by a clinician or trained mental health professional.
- Used to ensure major DSM-5 diagnoses are systematically evaluated, for example, in clinical intake procedures or comprehensive forensic diagnostic evaluation.
- Also used to select a study population, for example, in a study of the effectiveness of a treatment for depression.
Other Structured Diagnostic Interviews
- Structured Clinical Interview for Axis I Disorders (SCID): covers DSM disorders, with variations SCID-I and SCID-CV.
- Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule (ADIS-IV): covers DSM anxiety disorders and common co-morbid disorders.
- Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD): brief measure used in primary care to screen for mental disorders.
- Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ): diagnostic tool for mental health disorders used by health care professionals.
General Issues in Interviewing
- Interviewing couples: importance of flexibility and interpersonal skills of the clinician, semi-structured or unstructured interviews.
- Interviewing families: similar challenges as with couples, but with the difficulty of establishing rapport with many individuals at once.
- Interviewing older adults: knowledge of life span issues without stereotyping, using strategies such as speaking clearly, maintaining eye contact, and using visual and tactile stimuli.
- Interviewing children and adolescents: using age-appropriate behavior and language, not leading the child to an answer, and having knowledge of current media/toys/games.
Observations
- Attention to many facets of the client during the interview, such as activity level, attention span, impulsivity, tone of voice, and self-reflectiveness.
- Direct observations: observing the client in different environments if possible, for example, a child with ADHD at school.
- Self-monitoring: strategy for clients to write down/log information throughout the day on a particular behavior, helping to decrease memory errors and providing additional information about context.
- Ecological Momentary Assessment: gathering data about emotions, thoughts, behaviors, or experiences through the use of a smartphone, tablet, or other device that prompts the user randomly throughout the day.
Interviewing and Ethics
- Confidentiality: client has a right to know what will be kept confidential and under what circumstances confidentiality may be broken.
