As psychologists, we are highly trained mental health
professionals. In the consulting room we are generally 'in control'
and have a good feel for what is happening. However, in a court of
law, it can be quite frightening as anything can happen. The
vulnerability we feel in a courtroom is a professional
vulnerability. This is because a psychologist can be made to think
that his or her competence is on the line. This is not usually the
case, but it is what it feels like. It is important for us to
realise that in court it is our opinion that matters. But the
process feels personal. This book is written to help you develop
understanding and skills so that you can feel confident in
presenting expert evidence. The format of the book is not simply to
give you information, instead it is also structured to reflect the
way psychologists can develop professional competence through
supervision. You, the reader, will listen in on supervision
sessions with Jason and Mary. The book includes practical
suggestions and a focus on skills, as well as structured exercises
to practise with peers. While it is not intended to be
comprehensive, Crossfire!'s approach will touch on many of the
issues that are important in the legal process. Its particular
focus is enabling psychologists in Australia to feel confident in
court.
