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 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 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“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

    5.0 out of 5 stars Must have if you’re going to court
    Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023

    This allowed me to prepare my husband, the best I could for testimony in a malpractice suit.
    The lawyer and old time I did every single thing you wrote in the chapter.
    He uses the word correct in the easy questions back to back to try to get you to say correct when he’s trying to confuse you with dates.
    He tried to end it on a high note for him when he realized I wasn’t falling for it, and I was ready for that one second rule .
    If anybody is reading this and trying to sue a doctor for malpractice a New York please understand it’s not a matter of evidence versus evidence it’s about who can hire the biggest gun. Honesty does not play in malpractice. These lawyers are experts at screwing with you..
    And even doctors who wrote books about the correct way to do things will impeach themselves versus admit they’re wrong and lose their paycheck

    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018

    Book authors are experts in the field of legal and psychology issues. Their writing presents examples and cases. One area they touched my ego was the discovery phase and concluded that civil discovery is very important as each side may proceed openly, truthfully so that the evidence presented will be verified and confirmed during the trial. In my experience as a plaintiff (I am not a lawyer), I found out that although I presented my side truthfully with all the facts, the opposite side twisted the facts, and lies were the key elements of their defense. I figured out that one individual who has master legal expertise and manipulation of the truth and wordings, can get away with murder.
    Regardless, the book has very important information and civil cases and I will continue reading the subject
