  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Psychotherapy Research

Background:

  • The Dynamic Assessment Interview (DAI) is a semi-structured tool inspired by the Personality Assessment Interview.
  • It focuses on immediate patient-interviewer interactions during assessment.
  • DAI assesses seven theoretically derived variables crucial for psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the Dynamic Assessment Interview (DAI).
  • To present the psychometric properties of the DAI.
  • To evaluate the reliability of DAI assessments.

Main Methods:

  • The DAI utilizes anchored scales for rating patient suitability.
  • It assesses psychological mindedness, self-observation, empathy, frustration tolerance, motivation, response to confrontation, and affect regulation.
