Rezensionen

"Everyone interested in children's testimony, memory development, forensic interviewing, and child victims absolutely has to own this book. You can't really show your face in court, or go into social work, police investigations, or clinical practice without it! Michael Lamb and his colleagues have revolutionized the field of child interviewing, thereby setting a new gold standard. With clear prose and sharp focus, this book provides a much needed interface of state-of-the-art research with optimal forensic practice." -- Gail Goodman, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, USA

"Academics will value the full coverage of research which is relevant to this topic and professional practitioners will learn from both research- and practice-oriented discussions about how best to help children talk about distressing experiences. Policy-makers should benefit from an enhanced understanding of what is required to enable children's effective contribution as witnesses in the criminal justice system and it is to be hoped that if prosecution and defence lawyers read this book they will develop a better appreciation of how to approach child witnesses in the interests of achieving a just outcome in criminal trials." (Child & Family Social Work, 20 December 2013)
