dc.description.abstractMany clinicians face testifying in court with trepidation; now there is a new 7-page fact sheet to help those preparing for a court hearing. In addition to a case example, Testifying in Court about Trauma: The Court Hearing depicts what clinicians can expect in court, defines legal terms, delineates the types of cases in which clinician testimony might be required, explains the roles of “expert” witness and “fact” witness, describes how to testify effectively (with specific talking points), charts behaviors traumatized children may display and possible contributing facts from a trauma perspective, tells your rights as a witness, presents a checklist to use prior to the hearing day, and gives self-care tips for managing anxiety during the hearing.en_US
