This week you learned about the goals of psychiatric interviewing. You will meet many clients
who may look, think, or behave very differently than you. Everyone has biases; people are
sometimes unaware of some innate or learned biases.
This reflection explores the importance of self-awareness, bias recognition, and cultural humility in psychiatric interviewing and mental health practice. It discusses strategies for identifying conscious and unconscious biases through self-reflection, feedback, and ongoing education, as well as methods for preventing bias from interfering with therapeutic relationships.
