This authoritative reference brings together leading experts for
up-to-date theory, findings, and guidelines on the core aspects of
child custody evaluations. Contributors offer steps for gathering
more accurate family data through home observations, interviews,
and collateral information. Chapters examine psychological
assessment tools commonly used in evaluations, including measures
relating to parenting competencies, mental illness, domestic
violence, and substance abuse, and consider increasingly salient
issues such as relocation and families in therapy. The section on
case studies shows best practices applied in real-life custody
situations, and a chapter authored by a family court judge offers
rarely-seen perspective from the bench. Featured in the Handbook: *
A survey of ethical and professional issues. * Observing and
interviewing children, adolescents, and adults. * Psychological
assessment and personality testing. * A detailed review of the
Bricklin scales. * Specialized issues, including parental
alienation, attachment, cults, and more. * Illustrative case
studies and psychological reports. Mental health professionals who
conduct child custody evaluations, including psychiatrists,
clinical psychologists clinical social workers, family and marriage
counselors, and licensed clinical professional counselors, will
appreciate the Handbook of Child Custody. Family law attorneys will
also find the Handbook useful in assisting them in child custody
litigation. Its thorough coverage will aid evaluators in making
recommendations that are professional, ethical, and impartial, and
family lawyers in understanding the evaluation process and
preparing for expert testimony.
