About this title

Synopsis

The interviewing process is one which has attracted a vast amount of attention in recent years. To date however, few attempts have been made to draw from this reservoir ...a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of interviewing per se .' Owen Hargie, Series Editor Professional Interviewing presents the process of interviewing in its entirety, offering perspectives from both participants' viewpoints. It sets the process in a social psychological and professional context. The authors cover fully the theoretical background, the process components, appropriate skills, and related professional issues, and illustrate these areas with examples from their own considerable experience. The result is a coherent and comprehensive analysis, which clearly sets out each principle or area in a way that will be relevant to each group of professionals relying on interview techniques in their work. The book will be read by those interviewing in a wide range of settings, from appraisal, discipline and selection, to counselling, medical and research.
