Psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals may be experts in their respective fields, but this expertise does not easily translate to effective courtroom testimony. Even veteran expert witnesses can encounter new challenges in these high-pressure situations, especially during a cross-examination where every statement and gesture can be scrutinized by an attorney searching for ways to dispute the expert's credibility and opinions.

For more than two decades, Stanley L. Brodsky has taught expert witnesses simple and practical strategies they can use to negotiate challenges in the courtroom and give strong, effective testimony. In this thorough update to his classic guide, Brodsky and his equally prolific coauthor, Thomas G. Gutheil, continue to provide sage, humorous advice that will put expert witnesses at ease and allow them to comport themselves with poise and confidence throughout direct and cross-examination. Short chapters punctuated by memorable maxims draw from the authors' expansive personal experiences, as well as research and stories from other expert expert witnesses, to create this must-have resource that will inform and entertain expert witnesses for many years.

Reviews for The Expert Expert Witness. More Maxims and Guidelines for Testifying in Court.
"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
