The Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI)
The DSM-5 developed an assessment, the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI), that reflects on the the individuals background, developmental experiences, and current social contexts when interviewing patients by communicating effectively. This interview builds a strong rapport for the patient and clinician (APA 2013). Similar to the CFI, the Biopsychosocial model focuses on the importance of a clinical relationship for accuracy in diagnosis and treatment (Engel GL 1977).
