Description

Cross-Examining Psychiatrists and Psychologists: A Practical Guide Alan T Radnor ISBN 9781627228565

sychiatrists’ and psychologists’ testimony occupies a distinctive role in the medico-legal arena. While their opinions may sometimes rely on testing, they are largely derived from the subjective process of interviewing patients. As a result, the accuracy of case history becomes critically important. These professionals can be challenging witnesses, and their opinions often resist easy fitting into objective criteria.

Cross-Examining Psychiatrists and Psychologists: A Practical Guide provides a comprehensive, practical approach for both plaintiff and defense attorneys seeking to effectively challenge these expert witnesses. The book features unedited trial transcripts that illustrate both effective and ineffective cross-examination strategies, with helpful notes highlighting key techniques and substantive points.

The guide includes:

  • Examples of cross-examinations based on the DSM-5 and psychological testing

  • Explanations of common psychological concepts and a glossary of terms

  • Guidance on discovery, selecting the right expert, and preparing for cross-examination

  • Strategies for challenging opinions, conducting mental status exams, and understanding standard psychological facts

This unique resource equips law firms to prepare efficiently and confidently for cross-examining psychiatrists and psychologists, providing both strategic insight and practical tools.
