Abstract

Description

The basic premise for these guidelines is that even young children may be able to provide reliable and accurate accounts of events that they have experienced or witnessed, provided that the interview is done appropriately, in a proper setting, and without manipulation by the evaluator. These guidelines are based upon the clinical and laboratory research cited in the references.
