The technique of carrying on a personal interview is duscussed and analysed in this book by one of the outstanding leaders in American psychiatry. Sullivan views psychiatry as an interpersonal process, and the psychiatric interview as only a special instance of all interpersonal situations. This book provides the first complete statement of how Sullivan applied to the practical work of interviewing the philosophical and conceptual framework which he set forth in his earlier books - The Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry and Conceptions of Modern Psychiatry.
