Diagnostic Interviewing

by Michel Hersen (Editor)

This title, a third edition, carries on the tradition of the previous two in offering a practical, and state-of-the-art presentation of the interview process. The critical first step to diagnosis and treatment, the interview is as much art as science, and this text provides a wealth of material to enhance clinical skill as well as empirically-derived foundations. The structure of the text has been retained, with chapters by noted experts detailing current innovations in theory and practice, including recent changes to the DSM-IV.
