PSY 270 Clinical Interview Questions
1. Can you tell me why you decided to meet with me today and how long you have been thinking
about participating in therapy?
2. What was your childhood like…did you experience any emotional or traumatic events
throughout your childhood?
3. Tell me a little bit about your family. Do you currently have a good relationship with your family
members (parents/children/husband)?
4. Are there any cases of mental illness in your family that you are aware of?
5. How do you feel about your Hispanic heritage and culture? Would you say that being Hispanic
affects your life in a negative or positive way?
6. Tell me about your work environment as an accountant. Do you enjoy your job? Do you get
along with your coworkers?
7. Explain your symptoms to me. How frequently do these symptoms occur and is there anything
that specifically triggers them?
8. How long have you been experiencing these symptoms and have they worsened over time?
9. Have you recently experienced any emotional or traumatic events? Have you recently been
through any life changes (menopause, moving to a new home, children moving out)?
