This five hour video training program consists of three primary topics:

Behavior Symptom Analysis

During this segment, we discuss the verbal, paralinguistic and nonverbal behavior symptoms that are displayed by a person who is telling the truth during a non-accusatory, non-confrontational interview, as well as those displayed by a person who is fabricating or withholding relevant information.

The Behavior Analysis Interview

Most investigative interviews consist of two types of questions – investigative and behavior-provoking. Investigative questions concern the subject’s version of events, alibi, or activities at the time in question, developed by the traditional who, what, where, when, why, and how type of questions. We will discuss how to develop the subject’s “pure version” of what occurred, and the three types of clarification questions to utilize to develop additional event details. Behavior-provoking questions are used to assess the subject’s truthfulness by evaluating the nature of their response. We will discuss how to phrase and ask nine behavior-provoking questions and describe the type of answers to anticipate from truthful and deceptive individuals.

Positive Persuasion

You will learn how to persuade the subject to tell the truth about what they did through the use of understanding, logic, empathy, and rationalization.

During the program, we will show video segments from interviews and persuasion efforts to illustrate the material.

The training video includes a 33-page PDF workbook that is designed for note-taking during the program.
