Open questions
During a conversation with a psychiatrist, everything is important, starting with your appearance. Your questions psychiatrists are divided into open and closed. Open questions – this is the usual entrance about your age, place of residence, education, neighbors, friends, weather. They should be to respond clearly and preferably in monosyllables. By asking open-ended questions, the psychiatrist is not so much delve into your answers, as looking at your reaction, the conversation. It is important for them – verbose whether you are excited or aggressive, etc. of Course, in this case, how ever the saying "Silence is gold". Of course, that very silence should not be. Should be limited to answers "Yes", "No", "Maybe" and only on the merits, etc.
The main rule - on reception at the psychiatrist's better to be relaxed and sociable than disheveled and winded!
Closed questions. Provocation
Asking the so-called closed questions, the psychiatrist is not only watching your facial expressions, reactions and emotional background, and trying to understand with your mind, to provoke emotions, actions. All known issues "Than light differs from the sun" or "the Difference between the birds from the aircraft" will help you understand your mental abilities.
Often used and receiving "slowpoke". The doctor, portraying the dullness, asks the same question several times or asks, thereby trying to bring the person off balance or to catch a lie.
Closed answering provocative questions it's best to follow the "Golden mean".
To open up and to embark on long stories not worth it, as it is not necessary to withdraw into themselves and just keep quiet.
Provocative questions include the question about suicidal thoughts. Definitely better when they are not. Again, answering not forget that you can catch, asked this same question a second time. So it didn't happen - it's better not to lie, or at least to remember their answers.
