Originally published in 1989, the primary aim of this text was to
provide a guide to the interview assessment of a wide range of
common adult psychological problems. Emphasis is placed on the
kinds of problems that were frequently encountered in outpatient
centres at the time. The authors provide a general introduction to
the nature and causes of each of the selected problems, with a
focus on the kind of background knowledge that may be useful in the
planning of initial interviews and the selection of appropriate
interventions. Detailed examples are provided of the questions that
may help elicit information on the history, severity, and causes of
the problems for individual clients, and there is also a brief
discussion of selected formal assessment instruments for each
problem area. A major aim of the text is to teach basic principles
of problem identification, behavioural analysis and a structured
approach to assessment.
