Effects of interpreters on the evaluation of psychopathology in non- English-speaking patients
LR Marcos
Non-English-speaking patients in need of psychiatric services are usually
evaluated with the help of an interpreter. Discussions with psychiatrists
and lay hospital interpreters who had experience in these interviews and
content analysis of eight audiotaped interpreter- mediated psychiatric
interviews suggested that clinically relevant interpreter-related
distortions could lead to misevaluation of the patient's mental status. The
author notes that pre- and post-interview meetings of clinicians and
interpreters have been found useful in minimizing these distortions.
