interview for dx

negotiate a tx plan


what is our intitaly first job? how do we do this? - answer✔to ease their suffering, this is before

making a dx. all our pts are suffering, you have to address this first.




how: depression is different for everybody and may present with different sxs. For a 24 y/o

college graduate who has been floundering around, may just need help clarifying her goals. this

is what we can help them do in their first visit. spend most of this first visit thinking about their

lives and not their dx. this alone is an alliance booster, just be sure to ask about their life and that

starts it all.


what is the overall goal of the interview? - answer✔to figure out treatment not to figure out a dx.

guidelines for patient contact - answer✔- never give home or cell phone number


- if giving a contract number specify times they may call you

- instruct what to do in emergency when you can't be contacted

- leave a voicemail system for them to call and let them know if it's emergent you'll call back

within 24 hrs

- sign pts out to another clinician when you're on vacation and inform him of more severe pts or

chronically suicidal pts. change voicemail to have instruction to contact this clinician.

- use email but this too needs ground rules (limit to scheduling needs and refills, anything more

has to be added to their EMR).

- for HIPPA add note saying: "please be aware that email communication can be intercepted in

transmission or misdirected. your use of email to communicate protected health information to us

indicate that you acknowledge and accept the possible risks associated with such

communication. please consider communicating any sensitive information by telephone, fax, or

mail. if you do not wish to have your information sent by email, please contact the street

immediately."

- get pts number and email. ask if it's okay to identify yourself when you call because some

people don't want family or employers knowing they're in tx. hey contact info for energy contact

people, need consent before doing this.


rapport building techniques - answer✔- empathic or sympathetic statements: "you must have felt

Truckee when she left you". communicate your average and understanding of painful emotions.

but don't over use them.

- direct feeling questions: "how did you feel when she left you?"

- reflective statements: "you sound dad when you talk about her". don't overuse because it sounds

like you're stating the obvious.

- if you notice countertransference happening, see them as psychopathology and develop

compassion for them on that basis first


techniques to make the patient comfortable - answer✔- greet naturally: introduce yourself and

make small talk for a minute (unless in emotional distress)

- ask what they wanna be called and use their name a few times during the interview
