Description
Most interview failures don’t come from bad intent— they come from incorrect diagnosis. This course gives investigators a structured, evidence-based approach to interviewing—focused on how information is produced, how statements are formed, and how reliability is assessed.
This course reframes how investigators diagnose interviews—replacing cue-based assumptions with evidence-based reliability assessment grounded in narrative and cognitive principles.
