Dissecting Custody Psychological Evaluations

Robin Yeamans shows you how to dissect custody evaluations. How to go below the surface of a psychological evaluation and "dissect" it scientifically.

First, subpoena the psychologist's underlying data and examine it.

Then, an explanation of what it means to someone fighting a court case. An example of thorough dissection of one psychologist's MMPI-2 printout is given, which resulted in the trial judge branding the computer scoring service "biased" and throwing out the expert's opinion.
