Psychology & the Law: Hard Science Tools for Cross-Examining Soft Science Experts

Dr. Cochrane's new research based book on law related psychology is an invaluable resource for litigation lawyers, their clients and for people who choose to represent themselves in court. In cases of divorce, personal injury, employer/employee disputes, insurance coverage, malpractice claims and criminal allegations, the outcome can often be influenced by flawed testimony on key aspects of law related psychology/psychiatry. Dr. Cochrane's book gives you what you need to identify psychometrically valid psychological/psychiatric assessments and to effectively challenge those that are not valid. Included in this book is the research information that will help you effectively challenge the unverified memories of witnesses and counter the pseudo-science used by those who claim that they can reliably determine when another person is being untruthful. In general, the information and practical guidelines in Dr. Cochrane's new book will significantly increase your chances of achieving your desired outcome when that outcome is tied to some aspect of law related psychology/psychiatry.
