Psychologists and related professionals often need to have incredibly challenging conversations with their clients. Lies and deception can be prevalent in these conversations. A study found that 93% of patients have lied to their therapist, highlighting the need for skills to uncover the truth in these critical interactions. This course provides advanced techniques to enhance truth elicitation and improve outcomes in challenging conversations.
Participants will learn how to craft expert questions to extract the truth and manage passive-aggressive behaviors, while practicing strategies for engaging different subjects. Through hands-on exercises, they'll refine observation, question formulation, and interview strategies, as well as sharpen their ability to detect deception.
Students will also master rapport-building techniques using proxemics, prefix bridges, and other science-backed methods.

This course, Interviewing and Getting to the Truth, teaches the same material as the second half of the masterclass.

Pamela Meyer (Harvard MBA, Certified Fraud Examiner) is the world’s leading expert of detecting deception. Pamela’s TED talk, “How to Spot a Liar,” is a worldwide sensation. With over 30 million views and translated into more than 40 languages, it is the 13th most-watched TED talk of all time. The talk is based on her bestselling book, Liespotting: Proven Techniques to Detect Deception. Pamela brings years of knowledge – previously found only in the intelligence community, police training academies, and universities – to the effort to uncover the truth and build trust. She synthesizes her C-Suite business savvy with the critical deception detection skills she’s accumulated: advanced interviewing and interrogation techniques; facial micro-expression reading; body language interpretation; statement analysis; facial microexpression analysis, and behavior elicitation techniques. These techniques were developed by our national espionage, intelligence, security, and law enforcement agencies over the last 75 years. They were refined by the top psychologists and psychiatrists at leading American research universities and think tanks. The result is a specialized body of information developed specifically to help accountants, business executives, managers, investment professionals, social workers, human resources specialists, lawyers, insurance professionals, corporate officers, and others detect deception and get the information they need to successfully conduct their most important interactions/transactions and build trust. Pamela’s work and her method for detecting deception have been featured in Business Week, The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, The New York Post, The Washington Post, Forbes, The Huffington Post, ABC News, Portfolio, Fox Radio, Cosmopolitan, and numerous syndicated radio and television programs.
