6 CLINICAL HOURS
Train on how to conduct the first clinical interview for mental health professionals.
In "The Clinical Interview"
you will:
-1-
Identify the primary goal and structure of the first clinical interview
Hint: it's not what you think! Conflicting agendas influential institutions have persuaded us to focus on the wrong primary goal. Get grounded and remember your original purpose.
-2-
Explore vital listening and verbal skills that engage clients + support rapport building
We are taught to be completely present with the client...but the truth is your brain is frantically trying to assimilate all of the information being thrown at you. We've got some solid techniques to help you.
-3-
Gather useful skills in directing and redirecting client participation
How do you squeeze out information from clients who don't want to give you any? How do you redirect a client who wants to talk on one topic all day? We've got you covered.
-4-
Learn strategies to manage common challenges in the clinical interview.
Age, Denial, Tricky Symptoms, Complex Cases are just a few of the special challenges that can make the interview harder.
The Clinical Interview gives you what you need to conduct a successful assessment.
Maybe you've thought, "I have no idea what I'm doing. I wish someone had trained me to give this interview."
Or maybe: "I don't feel confident. Maybe that is because I am not good at this. Maybe I shouldn't be a clinician.
Either way, The Clinical Interview is going to ensure you never feel that way again.
After training in The Clinical Interview, you will be armed with:
- A renewed understanding of the Interview's purpose and how to structure it to your benefit.
- A load of tools to reach your clients and get at the needed information while building a positive rapport.
- Immediately applicable strategies to conduct a dynamic interview even in challenging sessions.
A Note From Dr. Jenn...
Hello fellow clinician! I'm glad you are here.
Like many of you, I've had jobs in most entry points in the mental health system over my nearly 30 year career, from hospitalization to residential care. The only clinical task that I encountered in every single job I had was conducting a clinical interview with clients.
And yet I never actually learned how to conduct a great interview. I had paperwork in front of me, and great pressure from funding sources to write a diagnosis after a VERY short amount of time with the client...but how to go from greeting a person I have never met to knowing enough about the person to have a direction of how to help them is not taught. We learn on the job, a painful process that largely depends on how good your clinical supervision is - if you have it. Yet there are very clear skills in creating a purposeful and successful interview. I wrote this training 15 years ago in order to better arm us with those skills and to reduce our stress surrounding this vital clinical task. It is reviewed and updated every year to ensure we are offering best practices in clinical interviewing, and that it remains fun and useful.
I'm delighted you found it. Let's get you ready to tackle the clinical interview!
