An overview of interview preparation (for example, initial contact, ethical and cultural considerations, physical setting, and so on).
A summary of interviewer tasks and technical approaches for the introduction and opening phase. Incorporate the Clinical Interviewing text and a minimum of one academic research article in this section.
Documentation of the clinical session applying the SOAP format.
A self-evaluation of the applied interviewer tasks and the use of nondirective interviewing during the introduction and opening phase.
