Please note that the inclusion
of any individual on the below list does not necessarily indicate the existence
of any licensing or other violation, but only that we obtained or have
been made aware of information of interest relevant to the subject matter
of child custody evaluations or other issues bearing upon mental health
practitioners and the functioning of the family court system.
Much of the information is negative, but some favorable information is included as well.
Similarly, no positive inference
should be drawn from the omission of any individual from these pages; we
have information on hundreds more that will be added. These webpages are
being continually up-dated, but the work is time-consuming.
To check the licensing status
of any mental health professional and see whether complaints or disciplinary
actions have been filed, see the applicable state licensing boards, linked
below. More listings
of psychology licensing boards are at Ken Pope's website. Caveat:
Licensing of criminals.
If you have custody evaluations
(for the custody evaluation study), or other information pertinent to custody
evaluators, forensic psychological witnesses, parenting coordinators, psychologist
mediators, supervised visitation centers, guardians ad litem, or court-appointed
therapists that you wish to share with us, or if you dispute or wish to
supplement any information whatsoever on these pages, please email Sarah
at thelizlibrary.org . We are committed to accuracy and not only welcome
but want your input.
Information
on these webpages is from ongoing research being conducted by the National
Network on Family Law Policy, and by numerous scholars, professionals,
and others around the United States who are investigating the workings
of our justice system. For more information, contact Sarah

Federal
incentives to remove children to facilitate fast-track adoptions. It's
not the money per se; it's the unintended consequences of "therapeutic
jurisprudence". Once do-gooder ideas and helper agencies and bureaucracies
are put into place, they self-perpetuate for their own preservation, budgets
and growth.

Therapeutic
Jurisprudence... Not Such a Good Idea:
"Let us be very clear about the true state of the psychologist's
art. Psychologists do not know any more about
behavior than the average man or woman in the jury box or the judge's robes.
Psychologists do not know what causes behavior and they are entirely incapable
of pinpointing some hypothetical event in the past that has led to the
present state of an individual. They do not know what got done, how it
got done, or whodunit. And not only are they unable to predict future behavior
any better than the man or woman on the street, they are actually worse
at it, blinded as they are by the illusion of their own expertise. Diagnostic
categories are not validly established and diagnoses cannot be rendered
reliably. Neither can therapy be reliably used to change the behavior of
our citizens, juvenile or adult, violent or simply wayward.
"Psychologists have no special ability to read
into the soul-or mind or psyche-of another human with any more accuracy
than the rest of us. Upon finishing graduate or medical school they are
not given special soulographs or psychometers that let them plumb the depths
of anyone's psychological being. There simply
is no mental stethoscope, no matter how much our justice system wishes
there were.
"Clinicians are not trained to perform the myriad tasks
the legal system asks them to perform because no body of knowledge exists
to support such training. It is a sorry state of affairs, but it is the
only state we've got."
