ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
Dr. Benson and Dr. Claiborn have over 80 years of combined professional experience.  They would like to share a number of realities and strategies they have learned, sometimes the hard way, about practicing therapy and about interfacing with the legal community and the courts.   They will offer specific, practical suggestions, and answer questions participants might have.  Drs. Claiborn and Benson are currently active in both therapy and forensic practice, specializing in such areas as violence risk assessment, competency determination, adoption and surgery readiness, parenting fitness evaluation, and ADHD assessment.

Learning objectives:
  • Understanding therapists' rights
  • Understanding and navigating the differences between psychology and law, in terms of goals, rules, and allegiances
  • Distinguishing clinical vs forensic testing and reports
