A psychosocial assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a client's mental, emotional, and physical health. The report also includes the client's perception of themself and their ability to function in the community. The interviewer asks this question to determine if you understand the three main sections of a psychosocial assessment report or if you will need to be trained on using this assessment tool if hired.

Focus on describing the three main sections of the psychosocial assessment. The sections are:

- Background and current functioning
- Summary, assessment, and recommendations

Avoid not being able to answer the question. If you are unfamiliar with the psychosocial assessment at this stage of your education, the interviewer may question your ability to perform a social work internship.

"The first section of a psychosocial assessment is the client's basic information, such as their name, address, referral, and presenting problem. The second section is the client's background and current functioning, and the third section is my summary, assessment, and recommendations."
