Why might clinical psychologists from varying personality perspectives (psychoanalytic, trait, social cognitive, and humanistic) all utilize the clinical interview? What is a weakness of this most common assessment technique?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?The clinical interview provides a flexible format which can be fitted to any of the personality theories a clinician might employ to help better understand the person with whom they are working. However, the clinical interview is also biased by the theoretical framework and personal background each clinician brings to the interview process, which can reduce the reliability and validity of the clinical interview.
