A psychiatrist with forensic expertise can
assist attorneys, federal agencies, plaintiffs, defendants, and
the courts to evaluate claims for psychiatric damages, disability and
competency.
A psychiatrist with forensic
experience is a physician who integrates clinical experience, knowledge
of medicine, mental health, and the neurosciences to form an
independent, objective opinion. Relevant data is gathered, analyzed and
synthesized as part of a process of alternative hypothesis testing to
formulate an expert medical/psychiatric opinion. The expert opinion is
fortified and validated by a psychiatrist who maintains a predominantly
clinical practice (i.e., evaluates and treats patients on a continuous
and active basis).
