Reviews / Votes
"Academics will value the full coverage of research whichis relevant to this topic and professional practitioners will learnfrom both research- and practice-oriented discussions about howbest to help children talk about distressing experiences.Policy-makers should benefit from an enhanced understanding of whatis required to enable children's effective contribution aswitnesses in the criminal justice system and it is to be hoped thatif prosecution and defence lawyers read this book they will developa better appreciation of how to approach child witnesses in theinterests of achieving a just outcome in criminaltrials." (Child & Family Social Work, 20December 2013)Everyone interested in children's testimony, memory development,forensic interviewing, and child victims absolutely has to own thisbook. You can't really show your face in court, or go into socialwork, police investigations, or clinical practice without it!Michael Lamb and his colleagues have revolutionized the field ofchild interviewing, thereby setting a new gold standard. With clearprose and sharp focus, this book provides a much neededinterface of state-of-the-art research with optimal forensicpractice. --Gail Goodman, Distinguished Professor ofPsychology, University of California, USAMore details
