This workshop is devoted to expert testimony mental health professionals provide in depositions, trials, and administrative hearings. As such, this workshop should be of interest to all mental health professionals who testify in legal proceedings regardless of their specialty area. The focus is an oral communication of one’s activities and opinions. Thus, preparation of interrogatories, affidavits and reports is not addressed. Reviewed are general principles of effective communication in legal proceedings, research examining effective communication in legal proceedings, research examining effective communication by expert witnesses, strategies and skills to employ during direct- and cross-examination. Considerable use is made of case examples-using excerpts from trial and deposition transcripts, as well as video recordings of mental health professionals testifying.

Some of the learning objectives for this workshop include: List the components/qualities of effective testimony; describe differences between testifying at depositions and at trial; use various aspects of experience (and inexperience) to communicate to the audience their expertise and credibility; and list how rules of evidence impact their sworn testimony during direct examination and cross examination.
