Overview

This book And nothing but the truth is designed to provide specific tools and techniques most valuable for witness and suspect interviewing. Chapter 1 deals with sophisticated NLP techniques used to establish the important rapport with the witness or suspect, and with visualization techniques aimed at overcoming denial and resistance. Chapter 2 is about the necessary preparations for an interview, the personality of the interviewer, and the interview setting. The anamnesis (or curriculum vitae) is presented as a means to calibrate the suspect's or witness' individual expression style. The knowledge of the suspect's or witness' individual expression style is of major importance when you have to decide upon a specific interview approach, and when you want to tell lies in the witness or suspect's body language. At the end of Chapter 2 the author discusses legal and ethical aspects of the interview. Chapter 3 covers the initial motivation phase. With the aid of a sentence by sentence transcript, you will learn how to get the witness or suspect into the right mood for telling the truth and/or make a confession. Chapter 4 deals with the different interview approaches used with the different types of subjects. The sentence by sentence transcript is a sample for DUI and hit-and-run offenses. The transcript not only provides the specific questions you should ask to get the information you need, but also explains why you should ask that specific question at that particular time, and what a specific answer should tell you. Chapter 5 is about nonverbal and verbal clues to deceit. You will learn how to detect lies watching the subject's body language and analyzing his verbal statements. Become a living lie detector!
