NU671 PMHNP Psychopathological Disorders and Psychotherapy
Week 2 Journal
The Psychiatric Interview
In this journal, you will complete a comprehensive psychiatric interview of an adult/older adult.
This assessment interview should NOT be of a patient that you have encountered in your work, but instead, should be a family member or friend. Your assessment should be comprehensive, and you should refer to course texts to inform items for inclusion in your assessment. Keep in mind that you will be responsible for covering those areas addressed in the reading assignments up to this point.
Remain HIPAA compliant even though this is not an actual patient. Refer to the person you interview as “Patient 1”.
Please use the template provided in the Course Resources. For this assignment, copy and paste the content directly in the text box of the journal. Keep a copy for your records.
