Sample text
Overall Psychological and Psychiatric Status During the initial consultation, the clinician is on a discovery course to gain an initial sense of the patient’s general pre- and postinjury psychological and psychosocial status. This is accomplished by empathic inquiry, with “clinical eyes” on how the individual tolerates preliminary questioning, including the extent to which he or she can disclose pertinent and personal information. For example, does the individual become annoyed or defensive early in the interview when asked about preinjury individual and family psychiatric history, work performance, or problems with the law?
In this context, part of the initial consultation is to evaluate the psychological status of the family members and their capacity to collaborate with the psychotherapist and patient. Considerations include their commitment to physically attend regular family sessions and/or a family group (see Chapter 7). Active involvement is the foundation for necessary psychoeducation and emotional support, without which their loved one will flounder. The family members’ demeanor, verbalizations, and style of interaction with the patient during the consultation will also provide a preliminary indication of their general psychological health and aptitude for developing a positive working alliance, including comfort and frankness in sharing.
Entering into a psychotherapeutic relationship is a decision that requires serious thought and commitment. Therapy involves a great amount of time, money, and energy, so you should be very careful about the therapist you decide to work with. I would ask that you commit to coming in for two sessions, during which we will have the opportunity to evaluate one another and make an informed decision about continuing further with psychotherapy. At the end of that evaluation period, I will be able to provide you with some initial impressions of what our therapy should include and a beginning treatment plan, if you should decide to continue and enter into a professional relationship.
