Consider the following scenario:
Terrence is considering next steps for a client, Angela, who has
come for therapy at the family counseling center where he
works. When Angela scheduled her appointment on the
telephone, she had described her concerns with marital
difficulties, insomnia, and depression. During her first session,
however, Terrence noticed that Angela had a very nervous

Terrence is not sure what to do first. He suspects Angela might
have a substance addiction, but clearly she has several

administer a screening for addiction or a more general clinical
assessment? If he does decide to administer an addictions
assessment, which of the many that are available should he

Sample Biopsychosocial Interview
DATE: 2-2-11
CLIENT NAME: Jane Roberts
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA: This is a 28-year-old single white
female. She is childless. She lives in Sioux, South
Dakota, by herself. She has lived in Watertown for the past 5
years. She has a high school education. She is
self-employed as a beautician at The Cut Above.
CHIEF COMPLAINT: "I could not go on drinking the way I
was. "
HISTORY OF THE PRESENT ILLNESS : This client's father
died when she was very young. She was raised
by an overly demanding alcoholic mother. Her mother had strict
rules and made the client work hard to
keep the house clean. The client never made an emotional
connection with her mother. "I grew up feeling
left out, abandoned, lost, and alone. I think I was loved, but I
was not shown it. " In school, she continued to
feel isolated from her peers. She began drinking during her
early teens. In high school, the client did not
date a lot, but when she did, she fell immediately in love. She
began a series of addictive relationships with

7. men. In these relationships , she was able to experience the
affection she had always longed for. The client
was "devastated" when her boyfriends would go out with
someone else. She would frantically "keep grasp-
ing" to hold on to these relationships . After high school, the
client had an affair with a married man. This
man was demonstrative in his affection, and this fooled the
client into thinking that he "really loved me." The
client was unable to disengage from this relationship, even
though the man was married and emotionally
and physically abusive. The client's drinking began to increase.
Her tolerance to alcohol increased. She had
blackouts. The client began to use Valium for sleep. Her dose of
Valium has more than doubled. She
currently is drinking at least a six-pack of beer and taking 30
milligrams of Valium every night. The client
currently is suffering from acute alcohol and anxiolytic
withdrawal. Her withdrawal will probably be pro-
tracted because she has been on Valium for 5 years. In
withdrawal, she reports that she feels restless and is
sleeping poorly. The client has few assertive skills and can be
excessively dependent. She enjoys men who
are powerful and controlling. The client has few healthy
relationship skills, and she is dishonest. The client
is accepting of treatment and has a strong desire to get help for
her chemical dependency.

father died when she was too young to know him. Her ethnic
heritage is Irish. She describes her home of
origin as "I did not like it. I felt alone." In grade school, "I was
timid, not very outgoing." In high school, "I
was scared to relate. " The client denies ever serving in the

8. military. Her occupational history includes a
5-year stint as a secretary. She has held her current job as a
beautician for 5 years. She is happily employed .
Sexually, the client is heterosexual. She has a complex history
of addictive relationships with men who have
been abusive both verbally and physically. The client currently
is involved with a new boyfriend. She has
been seeing him for the past few months. She reports that this
relationship is going well. Her friends and
family support her coming into treatment. Spiritually, the client
believes in God. She was raised in the
261
262 CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY COUNSELING
Lutheran faith. She attends church regularly. She denies any
legal difficulties. For strengths, the client
identifies that "I am caring. I get along with people real well. I
think that I am intelligent. " For weakness,
the client states, "I have a drinking problem. " For leisure
activities , the client enjoys biking and jogging. Her
leisure activities have been only mildly affected by her
chemical use.

MENTAL STATUS : This is a tall , thin , 28-year-old white

eyes. She has a broad smile and a freckled face. She was
