Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In this practical and entertaining book for forensic psychologists, St anley L. Brodsky, a leading teacher, scholar, and expert witness, describes court work and the legal context in a yarn-spinning style that is friendly, informal, and more explanatory than adversarial, bringing gentleness and humour to a potentially combative arena. Brief topic-foc used chapters, each summed up with a maxim, teach readers a great deal about the typical ploys and techniques used by attorneys to draw out information, either supportive or contradictory. In addition to offering principles, lessons, and maxims, this volume addresses specific questions, challenging testimony, and worst-case scenarios, many posed by people who have contacted the author about their own courtroom snafus . While clearly recognizing the gravity of the expert witness role and of the oath of honesty, Brodsky emphasizes the exhilarating intellect ual and professional challenge involved in mastering the courtroom setting.

You can't lose with Brodsky. I was chewed up by a DA once as a character witness, and this would have prevented that. Brodsky doesn't grind out simple self-help stuff, you will feel that you bought a real book this time. Plenty of examples and angles, plenty of psychology and principles to apply.

an enjoyable, entertaining read. very useful content. brodsky cuts to the chase. he doesn't provide much detail regarding legal background, rules of evidence, criminal procedure, etc. in this book. he provides the essential information for the mental health professional to survive and be successful in direct and cross-examination. i believe it is worthwhile reading. for the alleviated fears, improved performance, and reduced potential embarrassing moments on the stand, it is certainly worth $13.

Ten years ago I read Dr. Brodsky's very first expert book aqnd it was enjoyable and to the point. As a forensic psychologist having done many cases I find his new book The Expert Expert entertaining yet poignant when covering the issues and advice offered. "The Paint by Numbers" metaphore is critical for the the practicing professional. This book will be a valuable and useful addition to the mental health practitioner's library

...for anyone who is involved in legal proceedings, professionally or otherwise. Brodsky's latest installment, based on his obviously extensive experience and insights, is replete with useful info for both those who testify and those who solicit expert testimony. At the same time, it's marvelously well written and entertaining and hard to put down once you start reading it. Brodksy has clearly done it again, and let's hope there's a third installment in the works.
Rated by buyers -
The Expert Expert Witness by Dr. Stan Brodsky is a powerful and invaluable tool, for novice and expert experts alike. Dr. Brodsky's writing is extremely engaging, witty, and articulate, yet the text's informal style does not minimize the importance of testifying as a professional. This book differs from other expert witness books in that it emphasizes professional competency, preparedness, and responsibility, in the context of personal integrity. The book clearly explains legal rulings applicable to expert testimony, integrated with Dr. Brodsky's vast experiential knowledge. I highly recommend that the Expert Expert Witness become a permanent part of your personal and professional library!
