2/8/2021 6th Semester Psychiatry Seminar
Approach to the Clinical Interview
• When taking a history from a patient, forming a therapeutic alliance is
going to lay the foundation with that patient. So making an alliance is
extremely important factor.
16
2/8/2021 6th Semester Psychiatry Seminar
• First, greet the patient and then proceed to introduce yourself.
• Allow the patient to feel comfortable by creating
a room in an atmosphere that’s inviting and
welcoming for them.
17
2/8/2021 6th Semester Psychiatry Seminar
• Always encourage the patient to share a narrative or a story.
• Avoid asking YES and NO questions but rather open the floor to them and be
nonjudgmental as they tell you what’s on their mind.
• Always follow your patient’s lead. They may go off on tangents but it’s important
to follow their ‘train of thought’.
• Remember to respect the patient’s wishes to avoid certain subjects in the first
encounter because they can be interviewed on the subject after some time.
18
2/8/2021 6th Semester Psychiatry Seminar
This helps them feel comfortable and it lets them feel as if they can trust you.

introduce themselves by name and explain their role.

comfortable. I’m your Psychiatrist Dr. ABC and I’m going to discuss the
issues you are currently facing to see if I could help. Would that be right
with you?...”
20
2/8/2021 6th Semester Psychiatry Seminar

patient to express their problems in their own words.
