How participants may control communication in interpreted encounters in mental health care

What is it about?

In mental health care, like in any other public service setting, people who do not speak the language of the service provider can (should be able to) avail of interpreting services. When the interpreter is present, the usual communication flow is extended to a third party. The article discusses the strategies any of the three participants may use in order to control the communication, mostly in an attempt to make it more efficient.

Why is it important?
