Reviews from the 1^st Edition

"The editors are world renowned for their research and writings on child forensic interviews. They have assembled a group of international experts on disclosure... Readers will learn about the latest research advances as well as how to tackle relevant legal, policy, and professional dilemmas. Anyone who cares about child protection ... will find this volume invaluable...this book helps us learn how and when to listen to children."

Gail S. Goodman, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California-Davis and Tina Goodman Brown, in private practice, from the Foreword to the 1^st edition.

"Law and Psychology have not been able to fully coalesce and work together in the interests of the children rather than in the interests of the respective discourse. This book provides the empirical evidence to overcome any remaining inertia and shows that where there is a genuine will there are ways to successfully challenge such divisions."

Kim Stevenson, Plymouth University, UK

"This book should be at hand for all practitioners in the field of child welfare who need to understand this crime. It is an invaluable resource."

Peter Reeften, Addiction Today
