Abstract
The research literature on health care interviewing styles is reviewed. A critique of the traditional provider question-client answer style is offered, and an alternative style, the conversational interview, is advocated as more client-focused and less interpersonally controlling. The potential of the conversational interview to produce an accurate shared understanding of the client's health status is discussed.Keywords
