Summary
In the UK, one-to-one interviewing is no longer the dominant model of interaction between psychiatrists and patients. Psychiatrists increasingly work as part of multi-disciplinary teams, away from the traditional office setting. Supporting and supervising other professionals is becoming as important as face-to-face contact with patients. Nonetheless, the core skills of a psychiatrist are based upon the ability to work one-to-one, and many important issues are most easily understood in the office interview setting.
This section deals with some key principles and concepts through exploration of the one-to-one interview.
