What are the primary aims of the first psychiatric interview?
How should the initial interview be organized?
The student must answer the graded discussion with a substantive reply to the graded discussion question(s)/topic(s) posted by the course instructor by Thursday, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Two scholarly source references are required unless stated otherwise by your professor.
The student provides a substantive response to the discussion question or topic on Thursday day and posts a minimum of two additional responses to peers on another day(s). The answers to classmates must be posted by Sunday, 11:59 pm Eastern Time. We expect each student to participate in the discussion board in a respectful manner.
