In this session, Dr. Tanner explores how a combination of linguistic analysis, cognitive approaches, and strategic use of evidence can enhance getting to the truth during interviews. Whether you interview suspects, witnesses, or victims, triangulating your interview approach will significantly increase the ability to find facts, understand events, reduce confabulation, and break through purposive denial. You’ve got the skills, come learn how to combine them.
