Cross-Examining Psych Doctors - Tip #2



When cross-examining psych doctors, attorneys should focus their questioning on the weakest part of the doctor’s report, which is their diagnosis. When effectively done this approach will force the doctor to testify that there were insufficient data in his or her report to support their diagnosis. Once this has been done all of the other conclusions about things like causality, disability, prior pathology and the need for treatment fall by the wayside like a collapsing house of cards.
