The Forensic Experiential Trauma Interview© (FETI) was developed by Russell Strand, a former Army Special Agent, and refined with experts on the neurobiology of trauma and memory. Attendees will learn how to use the FETI technique to ask the right kinds of questions, in the right ways, enabling them to understand victim behaviors and memories that would otherwise be confusing – or may even have been viewed as evidence of a false accusation.
The Forensic Experiential Trauma Interview© enables investigators to
understand how victims, due to automatic reactions by their brains, actually experienced their assaults and recorded them into memory. Key to effective evidence gathering, this technique reduces the inaccuracy of the information provided by a victim during an interview and greatly enhances the understanding of the traumatized person’s experience.
This training is fundamental for any professional who interviews, responds to or interacts with victims of trauma including: Law enforcement, prosecutors, Title IX investigators, advocates, campus conduct, teachers, mental health professionals, etc.
