About the Book

Designed as a quick and accessible reference, this book helps lawyers understand and address the array of mental health expert issues they will encounter in their cases. Written by John A. Zervopoulos, who is an attorney and a psychologist, each issue in the book is examined through the dual prism of Daubert-Frye principles (the legal perspective) and of professional psychology's expertise and literature (the psychological perspective). The book provides the tools necessary to develop clear direct examinations, sharpen cross examinations, and compose effective, compelling arguments to the court. These lessons are also useful to attorneys who litigate cases outside of family law. Every chapter considers a particular topic, such as when experts rely on experts, managing experienced-based testimony, or the purpose of evaluation reports, and considers three aspects to help practitioners understand and effectively manage that issue: - Spot the Issue - What is the mental health expert issue; and how can lawyers spot the issue in a case? - Analyze the Issue - What substantive information help lawyers analyze the issue from two aspects: relevant case-law based principles and psychology's professional literature and standards? - Address the Issue - How can lawyers address the issue effectively in an expert's deposition or court testimony and in their oral and written arguments to court?
About the Author: John A. Zervopoulos, Ph.D., J.D., ABPP, a psychologist and lawyer, directs PsychologyLaw Partners, a forensic consulting service that applies the practical caselaw-based PLAN model to help lawyers critique mental health experts' work and testimony and effectively address the resulting evidentiary reliability issues in court. Dr. Zervopoulos writes extensively and presents seminars to lawyers and mental health professionals. His first book, Confronting Mental Health Evidence was published in 2008 by the American Bar Association. He also publishes PsychologyLaw Brief, a semimonthly email that offers practice tips to guide case preparation, assess the reliability of experts' methods and reasoning, and sharpen deposition and court examinations. Among his professional activities, Dr. Zervopoulos served on the Expert Witness Committee of the State Bar of Texas Family Law Section and contributed several papers to the committee's published manual. He also served on the American Psychological Association's Committee on Professional Practice and Standards. In addition, he is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
