“…For example, over 50 years ago Adler & Enelow (1966) used the Psychotherapy Interaction Scale to assess skill development related to an experiential training in interviewing skills. Subsequent research using measures such as the Queen's University Interview Rating Scale (QUIRS; Jarrett, Waldron, Burra, & Handforth, 1972) suggest that a) interview performance as shown through overt behaviour can be rated and b) that specific interview skills can be identified. Further, this research suggests that interview skills are distinct from other areas of performance such as professional knowledge as tested through examinations (Jarrett et al, 1972).…”

Does the ability of medical students to assess and relate to their patients through the psychiatric interview reflect in traditional academic achievement scores? A previous publication by our group offers data suggesting that certain personality traits of final year medical students have a fundamental importance in determining a successful performance on a psychiatry rotation. As the literature is vague and contradictory about the relation-ship between the psychiatric interview and clinical performance, a study was developed to determine what outcome variables are associated with the performance of clinical clerks on the Psychiatric Interview’ An attempt was made to develop and test a new scale designed to measure the Psychiatric Interview. The Psychiatric Interview Scale was used to measure performance on 33 final year medical students on a 1 month psychiatry rotation at a University of Toronto teaching hospital, and subsequently, as a basis for analysis and training of these students in interviewing. Inter-rater reliability of the Psychiatric Interview Scale was rho = 0.72 and internal reliability was 0.74. Psychiatric Interview Scores were compared with other achievement scores, and with patients’ ratings of the students interviews. A significant correlation emerged between the Psychiatric interview scores and final clinical examinations, but surprisingly, there was no relationship between the patients’ evaluation of the Psychiatric Interview and the raters’ evaluations and a strongly significant negative correlation between patients’ ratings and clinical scores. The importance of observed psychiatric interviews in teaching and evaluation are discussed along with the interesting implications of the differing evaluations of a successful interview by patients and psychiatrists. The relevance of training in the Psychiatric Interview to general medicine and family practice is emphasized.
