“…Although the quality of children's statements is influenced by a number of factors, the ways in which interviewers behave and question children are crucial (Lamb, Malloy, & La Rooy, ). Interviewers risk damaging the child within the system when they demand what the child is not capable of producing.…”

Objective This study aims to provide a review of the current literature on the interviewing of children for family law matters as an up‐to‐date resource for practitioners who might be starting out in, or considering entering, the family law arena and as a guide for future research. Method This study is a literature review of publications concerning the purpose and practice of child interviews in family law matters. Specifically, this review is structured around the following questions: (a) what is sought from interviews with children for family law matters; (b) what capacity do children have to provide reliable information; and (c) how should children and how are children currently being interviewed in the family law context. Results Research on the interviewing of children for family law matters is still in its infancy, with the majority of the work concentrated on providing guidelines, principles, and suggestions for interviews without an evaluation of whether these guidelines or suggestions are being utilised or whether they are effective. Conclusions No one has yet extensively examined how child interviews for parenting disputes are being conducted. Overall, the aim of future research should therefore include investigation of: (a) how children are actually being interviewed for reports in family law proceedings; (b) what effect known interviewing techniques have in the family law context; and (c) how best practice interviewing can be developed and applied for assessments in family law proceedings.

“…Repetir perguntas em uma mesma entrevista dirige a atenção da criança para sua resposta anterior, e não para a memória do que realmente aconteceu (Piper, 2008). Muitas crianças relutam em dizer "eu não sei" para perguntas muito específicas, principalmente as que exigem respostas sim/não, e podem responder do modo como acreditam que irá satisfazer o entrevistador (Lamb, Malloy, & La Rooy, 2011). A criança não está acostumada a ser considerada única fonte de informação sobre um determinado assunto (Lamb et al, 2011).…”

“…Muitas crianças relutam em dizer "eu não sei" para perguntas muito específicas, principalmente as que exigem respostas sim/não, e podem responder do modo como acreditam que irá satisfazer o entrevistador (Lamb, Malloy, & La Rooy, 2011). A criança não está acostumada a ser considerada única fonte de informação sobre um determinado assunto (Lamb et al, 2011). Por isso, é importante que ela compreenda que o entrevistador não detém o conhecimento sobre que aconteceu; caso contrário, poderá não revelar tudo o que sabe e também ficará mais suscetível à influência dele.…”

“…Muitas vezes, o adulto superestima a capacidade linguística da criança e utiliza palavras, conceitos ou estruturas frasais que excedem sua capacidade de compreensão. Na tentativa de demonstrar sua cooperação com o adulto, a criança dificilmente responde "não entendi", mesmo quando não compreende as perguntas (Lamb et al, 2011). Crianças pequenas podem até mesmo não perceber que não entenderam porções significativas da pergunta e tentar responder mesmo assim (Waterman, Blades, & Spencer, 2000).…”

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo revisar a literatura científica referente às melhores práticas na entrevista de investigação do abuso sexual infantil. Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa da literatura sobre as particularidades da memória e das habilidades de comunicação da criança em situação de entrevista investigativa, bem como as diferentes técnicas que permitem aprimorar a qualidade dos relatos infantis e maximizar a quantidade de informações obtidas. Foram pesquisadas as seguintes bases de dados: MedLine, PsychInfo e SciELO, no período de 1995 a 2012, utilizando-se as palavras-chave "sexual abuse", "children", "interview", "investigative"e "forensic".Foram encontradas 196 referências, das quais 34 foram selecionadas para inclusão neste artigo. Foi encontrado grande número de evidências demonstrando a necessidade de procedimentos cuidadosos para avaliar as suspeitas de abuso sexual. Técnicas específicas são descritas, assim como são discutidas as dificuldades frequentemente encontradas pelos entrevistadores.

“…!Historically, obtaining accurate and complete recollections from young children about their sexual maltreatment was viewed as unfeasible due to their developmental weaknesses (Ceci & Bruck, 1995;Herman, 2009;Lamb et al, 2011;Poole & Lamb, 1998).…”

Using Photographs and Human Body Diagrams as Visual Aids to Help Children Talk About Bodily Touch

<p>The present study aimed to examine whether using two separate visual aids (Human Body Diagram vs. photograph of subject) for different purposes (to clarify/elaborate reported touches vs. elicit unreported touches) effected the accuracy and amount of touch-related information reported by children aged between 5 and 6 years. It was found that children reported more correct touches from the scripted event when they were interviewed using a photograph of their bodies. Contrary to expectations though, the amount and accuracy of touch-related information did not significantly differ between interviewing conditions. Additionally, all children reported the most accurate information prior to touch-inquiry before visual aids were introduced. In light of these findings, it is suggested that visual aids may not provide any more substantial benefits compared to verbal prompting alone. Given the risks associated with their use (i.e., leading to increases in reported errors) the present study endorses future research that seeks to develop more effective verbal interviewing techniques, which assist in the retrieval of more complete and accurate statements from children.</p>
