Spoken language interpreters in mental health often make use of simultaneous interpreting as a mode that best provides language mediation in settings such as group therapy. Like other common modes of interpreting, simultaneous has a specific set of skills and strategies that interpreters need to develop. Coursework includes theoretical discussions of simultaneous interpreting and strategies, mental health diagnosis/treatment terminology, and practice.
