Memories are the ultimate foundation of testimony in legal settings
ranging from criminal trials to divorce mediations and custody
hearings. Yet the last decade has seen mounting evidence of various
ways in which the accuracy of memories can be distorted on the one
hand and enhanced on the other. This book offers a long-awaited
comprehensive and balanced overview of what we now understand about
children's and adults' eyewitness capabilities--and of the
important practical and theoretical implications of this new
understanding. The authors, leading clinicians and behavioral
scientists with diverse training experiences and points of view,
provide insight into the social, cognitive, developmental, and
legal factors that affect the accuracy and quality of information
obtained in forensic interviews. Armed with the knowledge these
chapters convey, practitioners in psychology, psychiatry, social
work, criminology, law, and other relevant fields will be better
informed about the strengths and limitations of witnesses'
accounts; researchers will be better poised to design powerful new
studies. Memory and Suggestibility in the Forensic Interview will
be a crucial resource for anyone involved in elucidating,
interpreting, and reporting the memories of others.

Child witnesses pose unique challenges to the legal system, and
courtrooms are daunting and alien to children. Timely and truly
international in scope, this volume focuses on the techniques and
procedures used to accommodate child witnesses in legal systems in
countries around the world and on the research investigating the
effectiveness and implications of those techniques. Featuring the
work of renowned scholars from the international psycholegal
community, International Perspectives on Child Abuse and Children's
Testimony not only provides support for all countries seeking to
broaden their approach to child psychology and law but also
promotes justice where child protection is virtually unknown.
Special emphasis is given to techniques currently in use and under
investigation in the United States as well as the U.S.
applicability of techniques and procedures used in other countries.
At a time when issues surrounding children's testimony are under
close scrutiny, International Perspectives on Child Abuse and
Children's Testimony provides outstanding findings and guidelines
for researchers and practitioners in psychology, medicine,
criminology/law, social policy, and social work as well as advanced
students in these and related fields.

A theoretically and empirically rich exploration of universal
questions, this book examines the interplay of three distinct
behavioural systems involved in romantic love. Leading attachment
researchers are joined by proponents of other perspectives,
including interdependence theory and self-expansion theory, to
review the current state of knowledge in the field. Presented are
compelling new studies that address intimacy, jealousy,
self-disclosure, sexual behaviour, partner violence, and other
processes in both satisfying and dysfunctional relationships.
Special topics include gender differences in attachment, as well as
attachment dynamics within same-sex couples.
Grounded in the latest clinical and developmental knowledge, this
book brings together leading authorities to examine the critical
issues that arise when children and adolescents become involved in
the justice system. Chapters explore young people's capacities,
competencies, and special vulnerabilities as victims, witnesses,
and defendants. Key topics include the reliability of children's
abuse disclosures, eyewitness testimony, interviews, and
confessions; the evolving role of the expert witness; the
psychological impact of trauma and of legal involvement; factors
that shape jurors' perceptions of children; and what works in
rehabilitating juvenile offenders. Policies and practices that are
not supported by science are identified, and approaches to
improving them are discussed.
