psychosocial assessment

psychosocial assessment
an interviewing technique that combines psychiatric history taking with elements of problem solving in psychotherapy: after a psychiatric history has been elicited, the interviewer summarizes the patient's difficulties and offers potential solutions. It is often used in patients who have presented with deliberate self-harm, and research suggests that it offers the possibility of reducing repetition rates in such patients.
