Effective interviewing is more than just asking questions – it’s the art and skill of drawing out thoughts, feelings, opinions, fears, recollections and emotions that already rest in the mind of the person being interviewed. "I’ll bet you were scared, weren’t you?" Evokes an answer of "Yes." But the response to "Take me back to the moment it happened and describe in detail the things you saw, heard, smelled and felt before, during and after it happened" will evoke an image the questioner could never have known.
