DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Clinical Interview Using DSM-IV, Volume 2: The Difficult Patient applies the four-dimensional interviewing approach outlined in Volume 1 (Fundamentals) to the difficult patient. It also enhances the interviewing process by using specialized techniques that correspond with difficulties often encountered by clinicians. Through numerous case examples, the authors show how integrating psychodynamic, cognitive, and neuropsychiatric approaches -- as well as the legal system's methods of crossexamination and voice stress analysis -- can help elicit reliable information from patients with tough problems and aid in solving their diagnostic puzzles. Written to correspond to DSMIV, this book strives to overcome generalization in interviewing by promoting a differential approach that individualizes and explores each disorder and all its contributing factors in depth, thus preparing the patient for optimal therapeutic intervention.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOver the years, in our teaching of diagnostic interviewing to graduate students in clinical psychology, psychology interns, medical students, and psychiatric residents, we have searched for appropriate reading materials that encompass theoretical rationale, clinical description, and the pragmatics of "how to. " However, surprising as it may seem, there is no one work that includes the theoretical, the clinical, and the prac tical under one cover. This being the case, we thought it would be useful to us in our pedagogic efforts if we could put together such a text. And it is to this end that we developed the outline for our multiauthored text and presented it to Plenum Press for their review. We felt then, as we do now, that the material in this book simply does not represent "the cat being skinned in yet another way. " We sincerely believe that our stu dents really do need this one, and it is to them that we dedicate Diag nostic Interviewing. Our book is divided into three parts. In the first part (General Issues), basic interviewing strategies and the mental status examination are cov ered. The bulk of the book (Parts II and III) is devoted to examination of diagnostic interviewing for the major psychiatric disorders and for spe cial populations.
