AIDET® Communication Script
Scenario
"New patient arrives for first psychiatric consultation"
Acknowledge
Good morning, [Patient's First Name]. Welcome. Please come right in. (Calm, warm, unhurried tone — use first name only for privacy)
Introduce
I am Dr. [Your Name]. I am here to listen and to help. Everything we discuss today is completely confidential.
Duration
We have about 45 minutes together today. There is no rush — we will go at whatever pace feels comfortable for you.
Explanation
This is a safe space. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. There are no wrong answers, and there is no judgment here. I may ask some questions to better understand how you are feeling, and together we will explore what might help. Would you like to start by telling me what brought you here today?
Thank You
Thank you for trusting me with this, [Patient's First Name]. That took real courage. Here is what I suggest as our next steps. You also have my office number and our 24-hour support line if you ever need to talk between appointments.
H.E.A.R.T. Service Recovery Script
Scenario
"Patient becomes emotionally overwhelmed during session"
Hear
Sit quietly. Allow the patient to cry or express emotions without interruption. Offer tissues.
Empathize
It is okay to feel this way. These emotions are valid, and this is a safe place to let them out.
Apologize
I am sorry this is so painful. I know it takes a lot of strength to talk about these things.
Respond
We can take a break whenever you need. Would you like some water? We can sit quietly for a moment, or we can continue when you are ready. There is no pressure at all.
Thank
Thank you for being so open with me today. This is an important step in your journey, and I am honored to be part of it.
