I imagine it varies pretty widely. My pdoc is an old timer. He just wanted to sit and chat. I gave him my medication history with my GP, then what got me into therapy in the first place, then back even further for family history and such. Very concerned about my current state at the time. Getting the story only from me, he wanted to make sure I wasn't a suicide risk. The main thing he did, after getting all the "pertinent info" out of the way, was to lay the basis for a relationship. As a result, I trust him and feel comfortable with him -- an experience I have never come close to having with a male therapist before.

So, for me, pretty laid back and reassuring sums it up,
Bob
