Although open-ended questions are often preferred in clinical interviews (Greist, Kobak, Jefferson, Katzelnick, & Chene, 1995), we suggest frequently using simple closed-ended questions to help put at ease persons with social anxiety. It is especially important, however, that the interview not be perceived as interrogation. The pace of the interview often needs to be slowed; we typically allot at least two hours for an initial interview. It is critical that the interviewer avoid signs that he or she is disapproving of something the patient says.
The most commonly used structured interviews for social anxiety are the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-IV (ADIS-IV) (Brown, DiNardo, & Barlow, 1994) and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-IV) (First, Spitzer, Williams, & Gibbon, 1997). Both of these instruments are based on the criteria outlined in the revised fourth edition of the DSM, published in 1994. The fifth edition of the DSM was recently published, and only minor changes were made to the diagnostic criteria for SAD.
