The Minds of Psychiatrists Research Project

Al Siebert, Ph.D., Project Director

We're gathering data about what's in the the minds of psychiatrists. Listed below are interview questions to ask psychiatrists and clinical instructors. Students enrolled in graduate school or a professional program may wish to make the interviews a team project supervised by an instructor.

Make an interview appointment saying "I'm conducting interviews of mental health professionals for a research project. I would like to ask you a few questions about being a mental health professional and about mental patients. The interview will take about 30 minutes."

Take a print out of questions you want to ask, and a note pad for writing the person's answers. Record the interview using a tape-recorder, if possible.

An alternate approach is to look or opportunities during classes, seminars, or clinic meetings to ask one or two questions of special interest to you.
Interview questions:

* Why did you choose to go into this field? What is your motivation for doing this work?

* What is most satisfying about the work and what is most difficult for you?

* Were you required to go into psychotherapy during your training program? If so, what was that like for you?
