Free Book: Psychological Evaluations in Litigation: A Practical Guide for Attorneys and Insurance Adjusters

    For over 30 years I’ve been doing psychological evaluations in litigation. In 2011 I published the second edition of Psychological Evaluations in Litigation: A Practical Guide for Attorneys and Insurance Adjusters. 

    At this link you’ll find a free copy of my book (https://drleckartwetc.com/wpcontent/uploads/2012/10/FINAL-051311.pdf). No viruses included so you can feel free to open it. Trust me, I’m a doctor! 

    Among the many things you can do with this book is determine if a psych report is flawed. Then when you make that discovery you can try to figure out how you can expose the doctor and their report on cross-examination. This is not an easy task unless you’re both an attorney and a shrink. It can be done and the book tells you how to do it. This is the one hundred thirty-eighth of a series of monthly newsletters aimed at providing information about predeposition/pre-trial consultations, psychological evaluations and treatment that may be of interest to attorneys and insurance adjusters working in the areas of workers’ compensation and personal injury. If you have not received some or all of our past newsletters, and would like copies, send us an email requesting the newsletter(s) that you would like forwarded to you. 

    However, you will probably find that the hard part is figuring out which questions to ask and what to do when the doctor blows smoke up your “you know what.” At that point you can commission me to write an ApricotTM. An ApricotTM is a written report that describes the major flaws that exist in a psych report using easy-to-understand terminology that provides information that an attorney needs to successfully cross-examine a psychiatrist, a psychologist or a neuropsychologist and/or draft a brief for the court. An ApricotTM also provides an extensive list of questions telling you exactly how to cross-examine the doctor to reveal those flaws and get the judge and/or jury on your side leading to victory for your client. 

    If you have any questions, give me a call, I’m always happy to help and there is no charge for talking

Psychiatrists and Psychological Testing: A Frequent Nightmare

     As a psychologist who helps attorneys effectively cross-examine psychiatrists and psychologists I frequently have the opportunity to read depositions and trial records.       In those cross-examinations, psychiatrists are often asked about the results of psychological testing that is sometimes completely left out of their examinations and reports.       The most bizarre testimonies are in response to questions about their failure to administer a keystone psychological test, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). More often than you might imagine, a psychiatrist will openly testify something like, “I didn’t give an MMPI because I’m not an expert in psychological testing.”       This kind of answer is bizarre because a forensic psychiatrist’s job is to evaluate the patient and arrive at a conclusion about whether or not they have a psychological disorder, and if so, what is it’s likely cause, ...

Understanding The Source of Weak Psych Reports

If you’re an attorney or an adjuster in workers’ compensation or personal injury, general liability, or any jurisdiction where a psych doctor produces a report of their evaluation or treatment in response to the claim of a mental injury, you are always confronted with psych reports that are weak. But do you understand them and do you know how to defeat them? Let me help you do both! This month I’ll tell you how to understand them. In the next two months, I’ll tell you how to beat them.   Many of you who have referred workers’ compensation and personal injury cases to me over the last three plus decades know that I have evaluated between 5,000 and 10,000 applicants and plaintiffs. As part of my practice I’ve read tens of thousands of psych reports, the vast majority of which are demonstrably substantially flawed.    First, a little of my professional history will help to understand what I think is going on. For the first 30 years after getting my Ph.D. I was a full-time co...

COVID-19 Psychopathology: Normal or Mental Injury?

     It’s no secret that vast numbers of people are getting anxious, depressed and experiencing a variety of psychologically produced physical symptoms as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. One cause of these symptoms is the fear of illness to themselves, relatives and friends. Another cause is the disruption of their lives caused by occupational events such as fellow employees coming down with the illness and the potential of becoming infected as a result. Yet, another cause is the potential of their employer either temporarily or permanently closing their doors resulting in unemployment and an inability to provide for loved ones.       In the area of workers’ compensation, one has to be concerned with whether or not the above-described circumstances constitute a mental health injury as defined by the Labor Code and/or legal regulations. The key here is the definition of a Mental Disorder. In this regard, the DSM-IV-TR is very clear in stating that...
