Child Custody Assessments Workshop
March 19, 2010, Vancouver, BC

About the Presenter
Dr. David Martindale has been in independent practice as a psychologist since 1972. Since 2000, Dr. Martindale has limited his practice to consulting with attorneys, psychologists and psychology licensing boards in the areas of child custody and professional standards. He has reviewed more than 1,500 evaluations and has served as a forensic psychological consultant in more than 100 licensing board actions and/or malpractice actions. He has written extensively on custody-related topics and regularly offers presentations for the American Academy of Forensic Psychology and for the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts.

Attendees will learn:
- how to manage the initial contacts with attorneys and litigants
- key elements of a Statement of Understanding between the evaluator and the litigants
- ways to minimize the animosity that litigants often experience toward evaluators
- ethical practices that, if followed, are likely to reduce the risk of complaints against evaluators
- criteria to employ in selecting assessment instruments
- methods for maximizing the usefulness of collateral source information
- ways to provide information to fee-payers concerning what to anticipate from testifying evaluators.
