Abstract
To highlight differences between data observed in patient interviews conducted by medical students and reports of these data in supervision, the number of themes in 26 videotaped interviews were compared with those reported by the students in supervision. Of the themes of the videotaped interviews 54% were not reported in supervision; 42% of the themes were reported. Some degree of distortion was present in 14 (54%) of the interviews; 6% (37) of the themes identified were distorted. The training of students in psychiatry must include careful attention to observation of the manifest details of the actual patient interview conducted by the student.
