Mental health expert witnesses can make or break a case, especially in divorce and child custody matters. This presentation will give you an insider’s view into the mental health field, equipping you with essential knowledge and resources to select an appropriate mental health expert, prepare your client for a forensic psychological or custodial evaluation, recognize red flags signifying an expert may be mishandling your case, and conduct effective direct and cross-examinations. Two seasoned psychologists will break down the ethical standards and scopes of practice among the various masters- and doctoral-level mental health practitioners, walk you through our process for conducting forensic evaluations and court-involved therapy, offer insights on how to dissect our reports, and spill the tea on questions we wish you had asked, as well as the ones we dread the most.
