A entrevista, habilidades e desafios

Abstract

This study aimed to demonstrate the importance of the interview in the clinical context as well as the different types of interviews available that can be used by the skilled professional to depend on the clinical objective. We describe some of the main strategies for psychodiagnostic composition, especially the structured interview for DSM.IV, the motivational interview and the play interview. We highlight the most well-known challenges faced by the interviewer and the relevance of the professional to develop techniques and interview skills that are indispensable in the therapeutic setting as a built-in relationship. Based on the importance of the place that the interview occupies in the area of health and especially in mental health, we reflect on the seriousness of the interview during the psychodiagnosis. In addition, we argue about how the interview is in some ways still considered by some professionals in the important context such as mental health. Finally, we seek to contribute to the formation of the psychologist based on knowledge that we cover in theoretical contributions available and referenced in books.
