Document Summary
Not about interviewing the patient themselves, but also the family members and friends to gain insight on patients behaviours. In a behavioral assesment: when you interview some psychologist, or a family member, it is a long ass interview to determine their behaviour , to find out whats more rewarding then their bad behaviour. The patient is contrived in a setting, in which assesment takes place. Rapid couples interaction scoring system: you get to see if they crisize, humor, disagreements : rating each other on each others behaviors. - bagby was known for using a personality which measures a specific personality trait (lack of emotion and inability to describe it and uses the lexifima scale) , he is also measures broad aspects of personality (like mmpi) So you can be specific or broad, but this includes many items since it aims to measure a lot so ppl get tired of long tests, when measuring personality.
