Excerpt
This interview is designed to identify potentially traumatic events in your client’s life. Each area of trauma is assessed in Part A with a general question. If the client answers positively, then ask him or her to describe it to you in more detail. If the client answers in the negative, then ask several more detailed questions to probe further. When a traumatic event is uncovered or described, in whatever category, then shift to a separate set of questions (Part B) and a detailed elicitation of the event and the client’s reactions to it. [Note that this is not a diagnostic interview that will result in assessing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder.]
