IMPORTANT NOTES THAT WILL GUIDE YOU WHEN WRITING THIS ASSIGNMENT

• The purpose of this post is to provide a guide to the reader on how to properly conduct a Biopsychosocial interview. It is not to provide suggestions on what questions would be best suited for one or another question but rather, it’s intended to provide the tools that I have found useful over time and maybe you can as well. Again, this post is not meant to prescribe rules but rather, it’s intended to provide direction on how to conduct a good BSI interview.*

There are two general types of questions that need to be asked during an interview: The first type of question asks about current life events and behavior; the second type of question asks about past events and behavior. There are several types of behavioral assessment instruments such as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) , Adult Psychiatric Assessment Interview Schedule-II (APA-II), Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ-2) which can all be used in various ways in gathering information from the client. The most rudimentary form of a BSI consists of asking “how do you feel today?” or “how have you been feeling lately?” These questions allow a therapist and/or counselor to gather social information regarding moods and emotions, among other things. If these simple questions are followed by additional ones such as: “what made you most unhappy when _____________ happened?” or “what was your most upsetting experience in your past”, then significant data can be gathered just by asking open ended or closed ended questions. That being said, there are multiple behavioral assessment instruments which all have their strengths and weaknesses depending on many factors including who is using it and what they intend to use it for .The purpose though isn’t really so much about getting more specific info from the client than moving forward with treatment planning; again, its more geared towards screening clients for an appropriate level of help versus simply having

Make sure they are comfortable and want to take the time to help.

Find out if they have any pre-conceived ideas of how their interview is going to go. They might tell you that they don’t want to answer any behavioral questions! Ask them flat out, ‘Why are you not ready for behavioral interview questions?’ Sometimes this is a smokescreen for some other issues related to Biopsychosocial interviewing, such as job dissatisfaction or a lack of confidence in their own abilities. These are areas that can be easily addressed and improved with some training from GTI.

With people who have little knowledge about mental health difficulties, it’s a good idea not to ask too many behavioral questions or open-ended questions about daily behaviors like ‘How did you feel yesterday?’ or ‘What was your biggest problem at work today?’. Instead, use more specific prompts like ‘In what ways were you frustrated by your supervisor today?’ or ‘Explain how it felt when you received that frustrating call today.’* * This blog post provides an example of how transitions can be constructed in order for the interviewer to get the most accurate response possible during the interview (p. 11).
