"Enormously practical, elegant in execution and delightfully fun to read, every page holds clinical wisdom . . . . I can think of no better first book for any trainee in mental health, for it is not only, in my opinion, an unsurpassed book about how to interview, it is a book about why we interview. It is a book that captures the wonderment of our work and the soul of our mission. . . . I have never seen such great teaching videos on eliciting suicidal ideation. They are a treasure, and I believe that many lives will be saved by those lucky enough to view them." --From the Foreword by Jan Fawcett, M.D.. Professor of Psychiatry, University of New Mexico. Recipient of Lifetime Achievement Awards. from both the American Association of Suicidology. and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention"Dr. Shea has done the impossible - written a text that works for bachelors, masters, and doctoral level social workers. Throughout the text, Shea integrates cultural humility, the client perspective, clinical wisdom, and the best that research has to offer. The accompanying videos are the most amazing instructional videos I’ve ever seen - they include mini-lectures, video of an actual client interview, and wondrously realistic role-plays (which invite you into the mind of a master) and speak directly to the content in the text. I hate to say it, but a medical doctor has written the best social work interviewing text on the market. I hope this text gets adopted in every school of social work." --Jonathan B Singer, Ph.D., LCSW, Associate Professor, School of Social Work, Loyola University Chicago, Founder and host, Social Work Podcast"Insightful, wonderfully practical, and surprisingly comprehensive, Shea’s chapter on culturally sensitive interviewing in Psychiatric Interviewing: the Art of Understanding, 3rd Edition sets a new bar on effective literature on multiculturalism. Shea not only eloquently delineates important cross-cultural principles for students - while modeling numerous immediately useful questions and strategies - he provides examples of clinician/client dialogue in which the student can actually see the interviewer gracefully transforming awkward cultural disconnects. I’ve never seen anything quite like it in the clinical literature. Simply superb! PS: Year after year my master level counseling students have raved - and I mean raved - about Shea’s textbook, and this Third Edition looks to be even better! I know of no book that better prepares a student for actual clinical practice." --Dottie R. Morris, Ph.D., Chief Officer of Diversity and Multiculturalism, Keene State College, Former Director of Student Affairs for the Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Program at Antioch University New England"Interviewing skills are not only indispensible, they are the rate-limiting factor in providing quality care. In the 3rd Edition of Dr. Shea’s classic text, we now have an indispensable book to match the training needs of our psychiatric residents (indeed, of our trainees in any mental health discipline). The skills delineated within these chapters should, in my opinion, be taught in all psychiatric residency programs. Every resident should buy and read this entire book before taking his or her first night of call. Every resident. In fact, I recommend reading it twice. I almost forgot to mention, Shea’s extraordinary streaming videos will thrust this book to the forefront of web-based learning. Trust me on this point. They’re fabulous." --James L. Knoll, IV, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Director of Forensic Psychiatry, SUNY Upstate Medical University
