Answer:

Interview

Step-by-step explanation:

An interview is a conversation usually between two or more people, one of which answers the other's questions. Most people often relate the word interview to a journalistic fact, but the interview can also be done in the medical or psychological environment when a therapist seeks information that may help in treating the patient, such as this couple dealing with sexual dysfunction.

The interview used on a client with sexual dysfunction must be done very carefully so as not to embarrass the patient and get all the information necessary to solve the patient's problem. In addition, the therapist or physician should keep the information confidential and use it for therapeutic use only.
