Diagnosis
This text links up with the paragraph called "Defining abnormal behavior" (chapter 4).The psychiatric interview, to determine a mental disease, is a basic diagnostic technique. In such an interview, the psychiatrist leads the patient into a discussion about the patient's life and feelings. In classical psychoanalysis, the patient has to tell about his events and dreams.
In addition to the psychiatric interview, the patient may also be given intelligence and personality tests. You can read more information about inteligence tests in the site (I suppose it was chapter five).
