Abstract
Psychiatry is the branch of medicine appointed to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders. Throughout ages, the concept of mental illness had changed many times, and today, the biopsychosocial model tries to explain mental disorders as the result of the complex interaction between biological correlates, psychological factors, and the socio-cultural background. The psychiatric interview is the fundamental element for the evaluation of the subject with mental illness. It allows to have access to the patient’s psychic state, enabling to collect the information that will guide the professional in formulating a diagnosis and through the choice of therapy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
