  `Contains much good practice, based on a wealth of experience and an intelligent and critical reading of the research literature. It can be recommended to all practitioners who must undertake this taxing work and also to cognitive psychologists in search of examples of cognitive theory in practice' - Applied Cognitive Psychology

  This unique synopsis of the art and science of forensic interviewing of children covers: the interviewing process; deciding which children could benefit; gathering background information; preparing the room; using appropriate questions and

  tools; closing and documenting the

  interview; memory and suggestibility

  responding to non-disclosure and false allegations; working with special-needs children; managing abuse allegations in the context of custody disputes.

  Implications for current practice are drawn from the authors` deep understanding of the clinical realities of child interviewing.
