Following on the success of Feedback That Sticks (Oxford, 2013),
Karen Postal demonstrates, through the words of forensic experts,
how to translate complex, highly technical neuropsychological and
psychological information for jurors in a way that is engaging,
understandable, and (to quote Faulkner) sets the truth on fire.
Testimony That Sticks shares the fruits of four years of in-depth
interviews with over 70 seasoned forensic neuropsychologists and
psychologists, as well as attorneys and judges, presenting what
experts actually say on the stand: how they use compelling
analogies, metaphors, and succinct explanations of assessment
processes and findings, as well as principles of productive expert
testimony for direct and cross examination. This book allows
readers to be a fly on the wall as seasoned forensic
neuropsychologists and psychologists share what they actually say
on the stand: their best strategies and techniques for
communicating science to juries and other triers of fact. Readers
also have access to the thoughts of attorneys and judges as they
watch expert testimony and weigh in on what works and doesn't, and
what they need from the forensic neuropsychology and psychology
professions to create more productive testimony. At its heart, the
book shows how academics can shed their academic communication
style learned in years of scientific training that results in the
inability to communicate clearly and simply about psychology and
neuroscience. This landmark book is about shedding jargon, giving
academics permission to allow emotion to creep back into their
language, freeing up body language, and using vivid, clear,
language to create moments of genuine, productive communication
with jurors and other triers of fact.
