EXPERT WITNESS

Not every clinician makes a good expert witness in court. Their skills in assessment and diagnosis may be quite good, but conveying these findings clearly to a jury can prove challenging. The goal of the testimony is to explain psychological concepts to a layperson jury. If the jury does not understand the information provided, then the expert has failed at their job. Also an expert witness must be objective with their findings and present the data honestly.
