   I've read this book in about 5 months and it was one of the most useful, interesting and engaging books I've read in psychiatric interviewing. What I loved about it is that it contains principles, techniques and strategies to use in the clinic. It contains a lot of tools and techniques to use for many different situations and clients we meet everyday. The book comes with videos which contains sample of the interviewing that Dr. Shea does himself and it's very useful as we learn by observation.

I've read a lot about the therapeutic relationship and it's explained here in the most elaborate and applicable form. It contains one of the best suicidal exploration methods and after applying the principles in it, I'm finding it a lot easier to talk about and deal with suicide ideation or attempts especially after watching Dr Shea applying the techniques and the method himself in the videos that come with the book. I can't thank the author enough for this masterpiece. Due it's length, I recommend it for the advanced clinicians, not for beginners in the field.

   I can’t recommend this book enough for anyone in the mental health field. It’s an unfortunate statistical truth that 50% of psychiatrists/psychologists/therapists are below average, but if everyone in it were to read this book then the mean would at least be shifted significantly right. Every single chapter contains immensely useful pearls that I immediately see the benefits of putting into practice.

   Such a wealth of information! This was my favorite book to read in school by far. I was so honored to hear Dr. Shea speak at our school in my last semester. What a legend.

   Добра книга. Създава съвсем прилична представа за динамичната природа на психиатричното интервю. Монографиите, посветени на изкуството на интервирането в психиатрията, а и във всички помагащи професии, не са никак много и всяка книга, заела се да концептуализира и изведе принципите на това занимание, в което се преплитат знания и умения, е добре дошла. В книгата, все пак, няма нищо новаторско, но въпреки това тя е един добър текст, който може да послужи като основа за сериозен дебат по въпросите Добра книга.
