Sinopsis:

Reseña del editor: "The Clinical Interview Using DSM-IV, Volume 2: THe Difficult Patient" applies the four dimensional interviewing approach outlined in the previous volume ("The Clinical Interview Using DSM-IV, Volume 1: Fundamentals") to the difficult patient. It also enhances the interviewing process by employing specialised techniques that correspond with difficulties often encountered by clinicians. Through numerous case examples, this book shows how integrating psychodynamic, cognitive and neuropsychiatric approaches - as well as the legal system's methods of cross-examination and voice stress analysis - can help elicit reliable information from tough patients and aid in solving their diagnostic puzzles. Written to correspond to the DSM-IV, this book strives to overcome generalisation in interviewing by promoting a differential approach that individualises and explores each disorder and all its contributing factors in depth, thus preparing the patient for optimal therapeutic intervention.
