ABSTRACT

Now is a good point for you to review the opening segments of the three demonstration interviews, the complete renditions of which you will access in later chapters. The beginning of interviews is the most powerful opportunity to start building the relationship platform, which facilitates everything else that needs to happen to reach your clinical goals of care or prevention. You may wish to listen several times so that you can imagine yourself in the room as the interviewer. Below we tell you something about each patient that the interviewing clinician knew before starting so that you are closer to the clinician’s level of information.
