Chapter 1: IntentQuestions to ask yourself include "Why are they speaking the way they are?", "How are they behaving, are they thinking about their actions?", "Are they a threat to themselves or others?".
These questions help determine whether or not the patient is psychotic, sociopathic, and other types of mental disorders that mostly fit within the two categories.

Chapter 2: ApplicationThis stage of diagnosis is quite difficult. The wrong approach could make your patient unwilling to speak with you. Be sure to use the proper approach and very carefully listen to what your patient has to say to you. Respond non-emotionally, you are here to diagnose them, not to make small talk. By responding emotionally and connecting with them, they may make it harder for you to read their mind state.
Chapter 3: Resolution
Resolving a psychology is simply understanding the issue thru the eyes of the patient and being able to make the proper plan to correct the issue. You must create a proper treatment plan based around the patients psychology and their situation.
