Description
Summary:"It is a complex task to interview children who are suspected of being abused in order to gather their stories, requiring the mastery of many skills and knowledge. This book presents a synthesis of the empirical and theoretical knowledge necessary to understand the account of child victims of abuse or witnesses of crime.

It also presents in a detailed and concrete way the revised version of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Protocol, a forensic structured interview guide empirically supported by numerous studies carried out in different countries.
