Why not confront the patient about conflicting information and obvious denial in all staff patient contacts?
Most of the time the diagnostic interview is performed when the patient is in detox and feels very ill. Confrontation tends to stop the patient from giving information so the interview would likely be of no value. This is an attempt to solve a problem before the problem or problems have been identified. If the staff person goes into the interview without a clear goal it becomes evident they don’t know what they are doing.
