The interview is the cornerstone of accurate diagnosis and effective care. The Clinical Interview for Relationship-Centered Care (formerly The Medical Interview: The Three Function Approach) provides practical, real-world guidance from a relationship-centered, clinical perspective. The fully revised 4th Edition equips you to communicate effectively using the Three Function Approach-Connect, Co-construct, and Collaborate-helping you hone foundational interviewing skills as well as advanced skills for challenging situations. Ideal for early learners as well as experienced healthcare professionals, this highly readable text helps you learn and master straightforward concepts, microskills, and skill-sets you need to provide optimal care for every patient.
- Describes three core functions of the clinical interview-connect, co-construct the illness narrative, and collaborate for care-with updated evidence-base to facilitate relationship-centered care throughout day-to-day practice
- Introduces three “meta-skills”-connect to self in context, connect with values, and connect non-verbally-higher-order skills to facilitate learning and clinical implementation
- Provides a new biopsychosocial tool, “the three pillars,” for co-constructing the clinical narrative: chronology of the present illness, ecology of the illness, and affirmation of strengths and resources
- Includes a new section on Professional Identity Formation, with research and clinical perspectives, and related chapters on Mindfulness, Use of Self, and Approach to Patient/Family and Student Concerns-all designed to help clinicians and educators understand transformative role transitions that mature during a practice lifetime
- Integrates Motivational Interviewing and Health Coaching with new chapters on Brief Action Planning (BAP), BAP-MI (Advanced Skills), and the Spirit of Motivational Interviewing
- Adds chapters on advanced topics and applications such as using digital technology (computers and virtual visits), presentation and documentation, language and cultural barriers, health literacy, elderly patients, mitigating burnout, team-based care, and applications across health systems
- Addresses challenges of chronic and life-limiting illness with new chapters on Optimizing Three Function Presence Over Time, Sharing Difficult News While Exploring Hope, and Collaborating for Care in Discussing Limitations of Treatment
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
