Читать книгу Ethics in Psychotherapy and Counseling - Kenneth S. Pope - Страница 43

 “A psychologist in my area is widely known to clients, psychologists, and the legal community to give whatever testimony is requested in court. He has a very commanding presence, and it works. He will say anything, adamantly, for pay. Clients/lawyers continue to use him because if the other side uses him, that side will probably win the case (because he’s so persuasive, though lying).”

 “Another psychologist’s report or testimony in a court case goes way beyond what psychology knows or his own data supports. How or whether I should respond.”

 “I find it difficult to have to testify in court or by way of deposition and to provide sensitive information about a client. Although the client has given permission to provide this information, there are times when there is much discomfort in so doing.”
