Tell Me More: A guide to deception detection and effective interviewing

By: Jefferies, David R.

Throughout history, being able to tell when someone is lying has been the holy grail of investigators and inquisitors alike. Yet, neither the swearing of religious oaths with the threat of eternal damnation nor the application of fire, boiling water, and other such torments comes close to working. While such barbaric techniques are, thankfully, very much a thing of the past, establishing truth in investigations and interviews remains as essential today as ever, with the help of much more subtle and less painful methods.Behavioural psychology has revealed the tell-tale signs of deception and, when coupled with a structured and less stressful mind-view technique, can highlight when someone is likely to be deceiving us. The book Tell Me More, by Psychologist and Investigator David Jefferies, brings together the world of statement analysis, microexpressions, body language, and advanced interviewing in one clear and easily understood volume. The book, aimed at those without in-depth knowledge of psychology, opens the world of deception detection and demonstrates how such skills are invaluable in many disciplines and professions.

Tell Me More is a fascinating, informative, and ultimately essential addition to anyone interested in deception detection. Whether you interview as part of your role, seek to improve your skills with staff, customers or clients, or would like to work out the solution to a crime drama before your friends and family, this book is for you.
