In addition to anatomically detailed dolls, other facilitative tools available to interviewers include normal dolls, doll houses, puppets, and anatomical and free drawings. Despite important issues concerning the legal and clinical reliability of using anatomical dolls, there are currently no standardized procedures for their use in victim interviewing. This monograph reviews comparative and normative doll studies and overviews the results of a recent research project completed by the Pediatric Ecology Program. In terms of victim interviews, the monograph outlines child development and interview training prerequisites. In approaching the interview, the interviewer must consider formats, settings, the child's level of sexual knowledge, and the appropriateness of using anatomical dolls. The actual interview consists of several processes including setting the stage, integrating anatomical dolls into the interview process, obtaining incident information, terminating the interview, and documenting and assessing the results. Several interview vignettes are presented, and the monograph concludes by considering the advantages and drawbacks of both blind interviews and videotaped interviews. 5 appendixes
