Question

If you were performing an assessment of a client or couple dealing with sexual dysfunction, you would need information concerning relationship issues, such as marital conflict, medical history and current medications, stress, lifestyle changes, comorbid psychological problems, such as depression, and goals for treatment. This type of information would likely be gathered using which assessment method?

Answer 1

Answer:

Interview

Explanation:

An interview is a conversation usually between two or more people, one of which answers the other's questions. Most people often relate the word interview to a journalistic fact, but the interview can also be done in the medical or psychological environment when a therapist seeks information that may help in treating the patient, such as this couple dealing with sexual dysfunction.

The interview used on a client with sexual dysfunction must be done very carefully so as not to embarrass the patient and get all the information necessary to solve the patient's problem. In addition, the therapist or physician should keep the information confidential and use it for therapeutic use only.
