| Summary |
"This book presents hypnosis as a tool for investigators to use with witnesses, dissolving the misconceptions surrounding this technique and outlining the steps of its effectiveness. Presented in two parts, the book provides a clear understanding of the precautions, format, and inner workings of a forensic session; describes a step-by-step preparation, complete with sample report; describes how to achieve information from a witness and then present this testimony in a trial with corroborating evidence; and discusses court cases, the use of the polygraph, and the role of the police sketch artist."--BOOK JACKET |
