Interviewing children can be difficult, especially concerning sensitive topics. This excellent resource will help guide you through the science of conversation with children in forensic contexts to help children describe situations they may have witnessed or experienced.
Information provided on the American Psychological Association's website:
Interviewing Children is an accessible guide for forensic interviewers, clinicians, attorneys, and other professionals who rely on children’s testimony.
In this second edition, Poole and Dickinson present new thematic chapters on conversation habits, conventional content, and protocols for training.
Highlights include:
- sample dialogues that help flesh out and illustrate research-based recommendations for practice;
- quick guides that synthesize core ideas and skills;
- "Principles to Practice" sections that answer questions about child interviewing; and
- a comprehensive appendix of learning activities readers can use to sharpen their interviewing skills.
