Preface

Like many current forensic practitioners, I have never particularly

aspired to be involved in legal proceedings, but have had this involvement
gradually thrust upon me via my clinical assessments of patients with
medical complaints. Throughout the years, my clinical activities have
primarily entailed providing behavioral assessments and treatments for
thousands of patients with work-related, motor vehicle accident, and the
occasional physical assault injuries. Given the composition of this clinical
caseload, the demand unavoidably rose for my non-expert legal opinions
regarding diagnosis, prognosis, factors affecting treatment outcome, and
disability issues associated with the sequelae of personal injury. As I
continued to be involvement in clinical, teaching, and research activities, I
began to be requested to provide forensic assessments for patients who were
not familiar to me, but possessed many of the same diagnostic and
prognostic issues. My role as an independent psychological evaluator
frequently involved cases in which a person’s verbal complaints and clinical
presentation of disability were considered greatly in excess their physical
findings, and suspicions of intentional production of symptoms for an
identifiable goal were inevitably raised. Interestingly, other cases involved
individual’s who displayed generally normal patterns of physical and
emotional recovery, yet were still perceived as “exaggerators” or
“malingerers” by others. These brief scenarios exemplify a sample of the
challenges routinely faced by forensic examiners. The gradual incorporation
of my particular clinical expertise within the forensic arena was made
possible by the thorough clinical psychology training I was fortunate to
receive from my mentors at West Virginia University and the University of
Mississippi Medical Center. This scientist-practitioner model training
allowed me to enter the realm of expert witness testimony from an empirical

vii
viii Preface

perspective, supplemented by considerable self-education via readings,

professional continuing education, and persistent involvement with teaching
and research activities. I now sometimes consider myself more an
“academic clinician” than a forensic specialist. For today’s practitioners and
students who desire instruction in forensic psychology, many professional
educational opportunities, specialized training seminars, and formal
academic training programs exist. Further, multiple national organizations,
with accompanying scientific journals, have been formed to facilitate
professional communication, and to stimulate research in the applications of
psychology in law.
The proliferating interest in forensic psychology suggests that this
field is likely to continue to expand and play an increasingly integral part of
psychology’s future. The steady development of reliable and valid
assessment methods, and a maturing literature base have added to the value
of psychological testimony. Psychologists have become central investigators
in many areas of both criminal and civil law. Experienced forensic
psychologists accept the significant responsibility of maintaining
professional impartiality, and must avoid the tendency of others to equate
“expert” with “she or he who can knows the answer to all the questions.” In
fact, the more knowledgeable some become in a specialized area, and the
more aware they become of the limitations in the existing scientific methods
and literature base, the more they might resist the label of “expert.” It is
perhaps their healthy respect for the yet unconfirmed knowledge that
increases their value in the forensic field. Repeated necessity should make
us comfortable with admitting what we do not know. Forensic psychology is
a multidisciplinary venture, and maintaining a contemporary “expert-level”
grasp of the professional literature in more than one area of specialization is
a very daunting task. No single professional could be expected to adequately
maintain expert knowledge of all areas, and it is for this reason that no single
author could authoritatively report on all of the various areas addressed in
this book. A multidisciplinary venture calls for multidisciplinary
collaboration, as is reflected by the various Ph.D., M.D., and J.D. credentials
of the authorship group.
Over the past decade, several books addressing the interaction between
psychology and law have been written. This book is intended to expand
upon the available literature by providing empirically supported insights
regarding the current challenges faced by forensic psychologists. The
chapters identify reasonable limitations of the current forensic data, and
provide practical recommendations and caveats for those seeking to pursue
practice in any of the specialty areas. The list of contributing authors is most
impressive in terms of national and international reputation and, in fact,
several have authored top selling books in their respective fields. It is hoped
that this book will launch new insights and create new questions to stir the
Preface ix

development of forensic psychology. It is apparent that no book can be fully

inclusive of all specialty areas of forensic psychology, and there is no
specific intent for any particular areas that have not been included in this
effort.
