Book Reviews of Investigative Interviews of Children: A Guide for Helping Professionals
Book Review: Mandatory Reading for Social Workers
Summary: 5 Stars
Speaking as a child abuse defense attorney, life would be much easier if social workers would learn the mistakes they can make resulting in false disclosures of child abuse. My job would be much easier if the results of these interviews were more reliable. This book shows how and why social workers need to use proper interview techniques. It's a great book from a defense attorney's standpoint to cross-examine a social worker with, but if every state mandated this book as training for social workers in the first place, we would have fewer cases in the system, and more reliable evidence.
Summary of Investigative Interviews of Children: A Guide for Helping Professionals
Interviewing children for investigative purposes is a specialized skill. Professional interviewers need to be able to conduct interviews that bear scrutiny from outside agencies and also serve the best interests of children. In clear, engaging language, this eye-opening book corrects the common misunderstandings about adult-child conversational exchanges and provides guidelines for interviews, based on the most up-to-date research. It also presents a flexible interview protocol that can be tailored to meet individual needs. Topics discussed include The current child protection crisis The difficulties of investigating alleged abuse cases Children's strengths and weaknesses as interviewees Characteristics of the most respected interview protocols Children's language development and understanding of "interview rules" Ancillary techniques, such as the use of drawings and anatomically detailed dolls How to improve one's decision-making skills How to stay abreast of the latest research and techniques The principles outlined in his book can be generalized to a variety of situations in which the interviewer wishes to gather information untainted by the dynamics of adult-child questioning. Thus, Investigative Interviews of Children will be invaluable not only to child protection workers, lawyers, law enforcement officers, and psychologists, but also to other mental health professionals, educators, and parents.Relationships Books
