Abstract
The aim of this paper is to point out the similarities and differences of clinical and
psychotherapeutic interviews, ie psychodynamic formulations that are conducted for
the purpose of personality assessment for inclusion in psychoanalytic psychotherapy
and group analysis. A clinical interview is a tool that helps physicians, psychologists,
and researchers in making an accurate diagnosis of various mental illnesses. A psychodynamic
interview is by definition conducted for the purpose of setting indications
for psychoanalytic psychotherapy or group analysis. The authors describe conducting a
psychodynamic interview as a process consisting of four phases: identifying the psychological
cause behind the symptoms, reconstructing the medical history story, modeling,
and formulation (the so-called case hypothesis). At the end of the interview, the psychodynamically
oriented psychotherapist summarizes the psychodynamic formation from
the information obtained. This means that he has set up a hypothesis, ie an interpretation
(explanation) of the unconscious causes of the patient’s suffering and based on that
he will suggest or refuse psychotherapeutic treatment.Also, in the context of an acute
pandemic, a brief overview of the conduct of an initial remote psychotherapy interview
(online / remote setting) will be given.Also, in the context of an acute pandemic, a brief
overview of the conduct of an initial remote psychotherapy interview (online / remote
setting) will be given.
