Providing testimony via deposition or in Court may seem daunting. In fact, many mental health providers do their best to avoid having to testify. ForPsych psychologists have testified in both state and federal hearings from administrative procedures to civil class action suits. Consistent with the APA’s ethical principles of psychologists and code of conduct, we understand the difference between a treating psychologist and an expert witness. As an expert witness, we provide independent opinions based on our education, training, and experience. We routinely consult with each other and attend seminars to fortify our testimony skills. We are also available to consult with the attorney in reviewing the opposing examiner’s opinion to assist in the development of case strategies.
