We are currently surveying past user of amalgam-tagger@scs.leeds.ac.uk,
our free part-of-speech tagging service - email an English text, it
replies with text one-word-per-line plus part-of-speech tag according to
your grammar markup scheme from Brown/ICE/LLC/LOB/parts/POW/SEC/UPenn, see
http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/amalgam/amalgam/amalgtag3.html
None of the survey replies so far have mentioned use for psychiatric
interviews, but I see no reason why amalgam-tagger shouldnt work forthese!
Jenny Thomas and Andrew Wilson have tried using more somphisticated
semantic analysis (ACAMRIT) on top of Part-of-Speech tagging; see
http://www.bangor.ac.uk/ling/staff/els01a/jenny.htm
- specifically:
Jenny Thomas and Andrew Wilson. 1996. Methodologies for studying a corpus
of doctor-patient interaction. In J. Thomas and M. Short (eds) Using
corpora for language research. Longman, London, pp 92-109.
Jon Patrick of University of Sydney has also worked on NLP analysis of
patient interviews, see

Hope this helps; I'd be interested to learn more about your work.
