Psychological Knowledge in Court: PTSD, Pain, and TBI de Gerald Young

Psychological Knowledge in Court: PTSD, Pain, and TBI

Editat de Gerald Young, Andrew W. Kane, Keith Nicholson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 ian 2006
PTSD, pain syndromes, traumatic brain injury: these three areas are common features of personal injury cases, often forming the cornerstone of expert testimony. Yet their complex interplay in an individual can make evaluation—and explaining the results in court—extremely difficult.
Psychological Knowledge in Court focuses on this triad separately and in combination, creating a unique guide to forensic evaluations that fulfills both legal and clinical standards. Its meticulous review of the literature identifies and provides clear guidelines for addressing core issues in causality, chronicity, and assessment, such as:
- Are there any definable risk factors for PTSD?
- How prevalent is PTSD after trauma?
- How do patients’ emotions relate to their pain experience?
- Are current pain assessment methods accurate enough?
- What is the role of pre-existing vulnerabilities in traumatic brain injury?
- What exactly is "mild" TBI?

Recenzii

In Psychological Knowledge in Court: PTSD, Pain, and TBI, Gerald Young, Andrew W. Kane, and Keith Nicholson provide forensic psychologists, both new and experienced, with 20 well-selected chapters that should be read by anyone likely to testify in a courtroom. The selections cover much more than the title suggests. The editors provide an insightful and practical discussion of what is required when providing expert testimony. . . I do recommend Psychological Knowledge in Court, and I encourage any psychologist likely to be testifying as an expert witness to buy it and read it.
