Notes from a call on April 21, 2021, with expert witness Dr. Rocchio regarding forensic psychology and trauma. The document details her qualifications, including training residents at Brown and serving on the APA Ethics Committee. It summarizes her expert opinions on the grooming process ('targeting' vs 'susceptibility'), the mechanics of establishing trust to obscure abuse, reasons for delayed disclosure, the nature of memory in trauma, and the definition and long-term effects of 'complex trauma' in childhood sexual abuse victims.
