All of the information presented in this guide is grounded in real-world advice, so readers can be confident that the information provided is practical and clinically based as they learn how to ? Perform 15- and 30-minute diagnostic interviews? Recognize the main elements of the most common mental health disorders? Reach an initial diagnosis?
