The Expert Expert Witness

“The Expert Expert Witness: More Maxims and Guidelines for Testifying in Court is but the most recent addition to a truly impressive legacy and should be considered essential reading for students and practicing psychologists and psychiatrists-especially since it is quite likely that sometime in the course of their professional careers they will be called upon to give testimony in a court with respect to a client or patient.” - Midwest Book Review

“The essence of this book comes from the extensive expertise of the authors, its practical focus, clear articulation and utility… I recommend reading the entire book so that you do not miss any of the sage advice.” -New England Psychologist
