How to Examine Mental Health Experts is a quick-reference guide, designed to help lawyers spot, analyze, and address the array of mental health expert issues they will encounter in their cases.
Each issue is set in one of four steps of the caselaw-based PLAN Model and then examined through the dual prism of Daubert-Frye principles (the legal perspective) and of professional psychology's expertise and literature (the psychological perspective). This structured approach considers and discusses each issue in three stages: how to spot, analyze, and address the issue. This accessible, easy-to-use format provides lawyers with the necessary tools to develop clear direct examinations, sharpen cross examinations, and compose effective, compelling arguments to the court.
