[YEAR] 1989 [CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE LITIGATION] Evaluating the child witness in sexual abuse cases- interview or inquisition [AUTHOR] Hollida Wakefield MA Ralph Underwager PhD [SELECTION] 5307 [ABSTRACT] Interrogation can be a learning experience for the child. The procedures by which children are interviewed when sexual abuse is suspected show a common pattern. These interviews have a high potential for diminishing reliability of statements that children make. Techniques involving drawings, books, play therapy and anatomical dolls have not been validated for assessing sexual abuse and may well introduce error into the interviews. Children who are interviewed repeatedly learn more and more what the interrogator expects and learn what to say or do to obtain a positive feedback. The child may even come to believe that the abuse happened, even if the allegations were false. 76 references [SOURCE]
