Blog 4: Interview Preparation

Interview

1.  I plan to interview my father, because he is my greatest resource into my senior topic. He's an instructor and psych. coordinator whose job is to treat issues that people with developmental and personality disorders may encounter in their life.

2. Questions:

1. Whether it be a personality disorder, or a developmental disorder, do you feel as though these mental disorders are highly overlooked as a huge issue in America, if not the world? Why?
2. Of the two and their different diagnoses, personality disorders and developmental disorders, which to you poses the most danger to oneself? 
3. Of the two and their different diagnoses, personality disorders and developmental disorders, which to you poses the most danger to others and those who may be involved in the consumer's life?
4. More states in the U.S. are getting accustomed to allowing psychologists the ability to prescribe medication to consumers? How might this be bad? How might this be good?
5. How difficult is it to keep personal problems and bias out of your professional life, especially during interventions and psychotherapy with consumers?
