List some of the advantages and disadvantages of the subjective structured interview.
What will be an ideal response?
Advantages: Clients can be guided to answer items completely, additional
information or understanding can be pursued, nonverbal behavior and cues as well as
affective behavior and voice tone and pitch can be observed and noted. Again, this
information should be noted only when the nature of the interview allows the clinician to
focus on these behaviors as relevant. Disadvantages: Success often depends on the
skill of the interviewer to ask the right questions with the right timing and to correctly
interpret the observations, the communication of some individuals is inhibited, and
clients may simply be unwilling to answer certain questions. They will then either refuse
to answer, or just provide a response that is a lie, the personality of the interviewer can
greatly influence the outcome.
