  • Should Forensic Psychologists Make Custody Recommendations?

    Part One of a Two-Part Article. Forensic psychological assessments are often pivotal documents that can have a dramatic effect on the trajectory of a contested custody dispute and, ultimately, on the path a particular child's life will take post disposition. Forensic reports arrive in court as documents that represent the application of a behavioral "science" and there is therefore a common expectation that the recommendations will be weighted heavily because they will go beyond common public knowledge or subjective value choices.

  • Making Internal Communications Work

    When a client asks two different people in your firm the same question ' and is given two different and conflicting answers, then you might get the idea that maybe the concept of internal communications is more than just a management clichZ. When an instruction from the managing partner is completely diluted as it goes down the line, then how can we dismiss internal communication as inconsequential? Why is it so often taken for granted? Why does internal communication rarely work to anybody's satisfaction?
