Abstract
Information interviews and therapeutic interviews are distinct but related. Most interviewers are stil inadequately trained. Rules of interviewing are designed either to conserve the neutrality of the questioner or of facilitate the self-expressions of the respondent. Being interviewed is ordinarily gratifying to the respondent, because of specific devices which facilitate his role. Under ideal conditions, the interviewer's role becomes highly attenuated, yet never without effect.
