Description: Developed for child interviewers by child interviewers. A Child Interviewer's Guidebook integrates comprehensive coverage of research along with extensive clinical experience. Created in an accessible format, this guidebook is written by a group of authors with over 60 years of collective experience in the field of child interviewing. The authors' multidisciplinary backgrounds include former child protection service workers, a police officer, an attorney, a psychologist, and a social worker.

The authors' understanding of the clinical realities of child interviewing and their ability to integrate these with current research make this book a unique synopsis of the art and science of forensic interviewing of children. A Child Interviewer's Guidebook is an invaluable reference for child interviewers in advocacy and medical assessment centers, child protection workers, law enforcement personnel, instructors in social work and psychology, medical professionals, and attorneys.
