This study aims to examine the effects of the interviewer\u2019s empathy on parents\u2019 anxiety, and to explore how parents experience these situations. A measure of anxiety was applied to 41 parents under evaluation for child custody before and after the assessment interview. Professionals\u2019 empathy was rated by both parents and professionals after each appointment. Parents participated in semistructured interviews. Data were analyzed through statistical and content analyses. The decrease in anxiety was significantly greater for parents who perceived professionals as \u201cperfect\u201d than for parents who perceived professionals as \u201cless than perfect\u201d in empathy. Parents\u2019 and professionals\u2019 empathy scores correlated positively, but the association between professionals\u2019 self-rated empathy and parents\u2019 anxiety was nonsignificant. Reactions to the justice system\u2019s intervention emerging in the semistructured interviews were \u201cunjustifiable intrusion,\u201d \u201cdisconcerting information,\u201d and \u201creality confirmation.\u201d Each associated differently with parents\u2019 expectations for the assessment interview (respectively, that the process be over quickly, that it be over successfully, and that help start quickly). Our results support the important effects, from parents\u2019 perspectives, of empathy in assessment interviews in the context of juvenile criminology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/sw\/swz012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,10]],"date-time":"2019-06-10T19:14:40Z","timestamp":1560194080000},"page":"242-252","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The
