Summary:

In this meticulously revised and expanded edition of "The Psychiatric Interview in Clinical Practice" the authors continue to address the challenges inherent in clinical interviewing?the complexities of defense mechanisms, conflicts, wishes, and fantasies?as they did in their original 1971 edition, while also undertaking the daunting task of adapting their interview strategies to a new era of psychiatry, one that has witnessed revolutionary breakthroughs in genetics, cognitive neuroscience, psychopharmacology, and brain-imaging research. In 20 new and updated chapters, the authors comprehensively examine the strategy and conduct of psychodynamically informed clinical interviewing, accommodating the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic nomenclature but also being forthright in critiquing its limitations.
