This is a nuts-and-bolts guide for the psychologist who may be called upon to testify as an expert witness. It discusses how to prepare psychological reports, depositions, and technical reports; what to expect when serving as a witness; and how to behave in various situations and avoid being used by attorneys and embarrassed in court. It describes the different kinds of actions that may require expert testimony - competency and sanity hearings, domestic cases, personal injury and wrongful death litigation, and questions of criminal intent and disability. The book also includes material on legal procedures, the background and operation of the court systems, and actual testimony for a wide variety of cases.
