CIA-Agenten verraten, wie man Lügen erkennt und die Wahrheit herausfindet

Erkenne den Lügner

Cum convingi un făptaș să-și recunoască nelegiuirile? Dar un angajat să admită că a furat din companie? Și cum vei reuși să-l faci pe partenerul de viață să admită că a mințit? Dacă în bestsellerul Spy the Lie, cei trei foști agenți CIA te-au învățat cum să detectezi înșelătoria, acum vei afla în ce fel poți să-l determini pe celălalt, în mod persuasiv, dar neagresiv, să destăinuie secretele ce-l apasă. Plecând de la propria experiență de interogatori, autorii oferă o serie de tehnici relevante pentru arta „smulgerii“ adevărului: ținerea celui interogat în modul de gândire pe termen scurt (pentru a nu se mai întreba ce va păți dacă mărturisește), proiectarea vinovăției („Poate că ceva independent de tine te-a împins să faci asta“), raționalizarea acțiunilor („Mulți ar fi reacționat la fel în atare condiții“), empatia cu făptașul și identificarea tipurilor sale de rezistență. Cartea este o dovadă vie că tehnicile create pentru contraspionaj sau investigații penale pot fi adaptate destul de ușor pentru interviul de angajare, în examinările din sala de tribunal, la masa negocierilor sau în viața de familie.
