    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Single drug interviews are prone to patient distortion and interviewer bias.
    • Existing diagnostic methods may not fully capture complex substance use disorders.

    Observation:

    • Provocative interview techniques, including those related to amphetamine psychosis and state-dependent learning, are reviewed.
    • A novel format for controlled, multiple provocative interviews is proposed.

    Findings:

    • This multi-perspective interview approach, termed "triangulation," was applied to a clinical case.
    • The proposed format demonstrated potential for yielding more reliable diagnostic information.

    Implications:

    • This method enhances the diagnostic utility of drug interviews in clinical practice.
    • It offers a structured approach to overcome limitations of single-session assessments.
    • Further research can validate this technique for various substance use disorders.
