Chapter 1 begins with an introduction to the interview itself with reference to goals, process, and the key components of the physician-patient relationship. Chapter 2, History—is a guide to taking a comprehensive and thorough history. Chapter 3, Examination—emphasizes the importance of physical, central nervous system, and Mental State Examination (MSE) in a psychiatric evaluation. The chapter on Mental State Examination, as you would expect, gets particular attention.
