Description:

Learn to conduct state-of-the-art clinical interviews in therapeutic settings

Clinical interviewing is the foundation upon which all counselling and psychotherapy rests. In the newly revised seventh edition of Clinical Interviewing, John and Rita Sommers-Flanagan provide a comprehensive analysis and discussion of the clinical interview, along with skill-building applications. Extensive and practical coverage of culturally sensitive assessment, case formulation, treatment planning, and psychosocial interventions are included. This new edition continues in the Sommers-Flanagan''s tradition of relationally oriented clinical interviewing; it also offers fresh content, cutting-edge citations, diverse case examples, updated language, and more deeply integrates culture, ethnicities, and diverse representation, while strengthening the book''s evidence-based orientation. Learners will have an engaging reading experience with trusted authors who cover vital content for all mental health professionals. Readers will also find:

  • Complementary videos that feature a diverse range of clinicians and clients discussing core ideas and demonstrating key techniques
  • Guidance and strategies for clinician stress management and self-care
  • For the instructor''s edition: An online instructor''s manual with supplementary lecture ideas, discussion questions, classroom demonstrations, an online test bank, and downloadable PowerPoint slides

An essential text covering an equally essential topic, Clinical Interviewing is written for aspiring and practicing counselors, psychotherapists, and mental health professionals seeking up-to-date guidance on how to conduct a state-of-the-art (and science) clinical interview.
