The most respected psychological tests used are standardized and allow the psychologist to compare the patient with a normal population of adults or children of the same age. The results of such testing can be used as demonstrative evidence when the psychologist testifies. Test data becomes a way for the psychologist to present hard data to the judge and jury. Psychological testing adds significant credibility when the psychologist testifies in court. Computerized test interpretations further provide access to a large, normative base, which assists in eliminating examiner bias.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of psychological tests proven to be valid and reliable in assessing symptoms of mental illness, emotional distress, cognitive and intellectual impairment, and personality traits. There are also test instruments that can assess malingering and dissimulation, which frequently occur in the context of legal issues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"l3d8\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-l3d8\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Why Use a Psychological Expert to Help Prepare Your Case?<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-l3d8\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>Objective Evaluation Can Help Support Your Argument<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A psychologist testifying as an expert witness can help judges and juries better understand psychological problems that impact forensic decisions. For example, in civil cases, questions of emotional damages related to injury often arise. A psychologist who administers psychological testing can diagnose the presence of, or lack of, alleged emotional injuries related to the incident in question. Rather than making subjective statements, psychologists rely on psychological testing to confirm a diagnosis of emotional injury.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"x508\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-x508\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Forensic Psychology or Forensic Psychiatry?<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-x508\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>What\u2019s the Difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A forensic psychologist holds a doctoral degree in a field of psychology. The forensic psychologist should have significant training in the area of psychopathology, as well as clinical training. In addition, the forensic psychologist also has advanced graduate or post-graduate training in forensic psychology. Advanced training in forensic psychology provides the psychologist with an understanding of the legal issues involved in the chosen areas of practice in forensic psychology. This training also focuses on the use of statistically sound psychological testing that enhances court credibility and provides an objective avenue for diagnosing the client. Standardized psychological testing provides a scientific basis for the psychologist\u2019s opinion.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, a forensic psychiatrist is trained as a medical doctor with a residency in psychiatry. The residency exposes the psychiatrist to information about the use of drugs to treat mental illness, and provides the psychiatrist with education about treating various clinical populations. Forensic psychiatrists are not trained in standardized testing to provide testing substantiation for their testimony.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"y624\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-y624\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">What&#8217;s Included in a Forensic Psychological Evaluation?<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-y624\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>Thorough Assessments and Reports<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When hired as an expert, Dr. McNaught reviews medical and mental health treatment records, academic records, previous psychological examinations, employment records, and other legal documents.

Contact with collateral sources is conducted, as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Following the evaluation, Dr. McNaught provides an oral or written report, as requested. Her reports are comprehensive and based on solid clinical assessment, as well as an objective review of the pertinent records. The goal of these evaluations is to compare psychological testing and interview data with medical, counseling, and legal records to assess credibility and psychological functioning. Such evaluations further assess pre-existing, co-existing, and post-injury events on the client\u2019s present psychological functioning.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"n70f\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-n70f\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Referrals<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-n70f\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Typically, the referring attorney contacts Dr. McNaught regarding forensic evaluations and forensic testimony.

Images of CSI commonly come to mind when this term is first heard. However, the word forensic means \u201cconnected to the legal justice system.\u201d Forensic psychology is the intersection of the practice or study of psychology, and the justice system. Any specialist, such as a psychologist, physician, sociologist or dentist, can serve as a legal expert. When doing so, they are referred to as a forensic expert. Hence, the term forensic psychologist refers to a psychologist who is interfacing with the legal system and providing expert testimony to the court or attorneys about psychological issues.<\/p>\n<p>Forensic psychologists hold a doctoral degree in a field of psychology. They also have specialized training in forensic psychology focused on the legal areas in which they work. In addition, a forensic psychologist has clinical training and is experienced\u00a0 in the\u00a0 administration of psychological tests that meet the highest standards of objectivity and reliability.<\/p>\n<p>In a clinical setting, a psychologist accepts the client\u2019s view as truth. However, in the role of forensic psychologist, the psychologist retains an objective role that involves investigative work to substantiate information provided by the client. Psychological testing is also used to substantiate claims of mental illness or emotional damages. Forensic psychologists working directly with attorneys or the court may provide psychological testing, personality assessment, assessment of mitigating factors, assessment of sexual offenders, competency evaluations, and make recommendations regarding parental custody or visitation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_d883926b\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Questions? <a href=\"https:\/\/janemcnaught.com\/dev\/contact\/\"><strong>Contact Dr. McNaught &gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Expert Witness Services Contact Dr. McNaught > Dr. Jane K.
