The anxiety caused by reminding the past bitter events is called PTSD and interviewing with the people who suffer from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) or the people who have bitter memories is not an easy case because they resist reminding memories unconsciously.

 

In the first part of this project (theoretical part presented in IOHA conference (Singapore-2021), the theoretical background and some details of the new technology ,called Smart Interview, were described. A method in which the interviewer can use mental frequency pattern of the narrator to reduce the effect of bitter memories and put them in a relaxing condition to have more reliable interview.
