Below is the health evaluation I use for the manual assessment (non-computer) in my office. I ask the client these questions and fill in the blanks. This allows them to think about the answers. It also allows me to observe their feelings about different issues. I find that this discussion time relaxes the client, and allows them to see how much I truly care. Feel free to use it in your office with my blessing, however realize that different client react to these questions in many different ways. Often times the client will laugh and relax but frequently they cry when they see that you care.
