  • Clinical interviewing is both an art and a science, requiring critical thinking
  • Teaching philosophy emphasizes lifelong learning and nondirective listening, followed by directive techniques
  • Core skills include quieting the self, nondirective listening, building rapport, and assessment/diagnosis
  • Theoretical orientations – various approaches (e.g., person-centered, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral) inform interviewing techniques
  • Cultural awareness is essential for effective interviewing and adapting techniques to diverse backgrounds
  • Nondirective listening has advantages (respect, self-expression) and pitfalls (lack of guidance)

  • Finding meaning in life is an antidote to despair (Frankl, 1992)
  • Depression is characterized by negative thinking about self, the world, and the future (Beck)

  • Schemas are core beliefs that filter and process information from the environment

Core Beliefs and Schemas

  • Schemas are developed in early childhood and influenced by genetics and life experiences
  • Schemas act as templates for information processing
