Practical and helpful
Clinicians in Court is a clearly written, practical guide for therapists who find themselves drawn into the legal system. It provides a map for clinicians navigating the potentially risky terrain of the courts. The book cuts to the chase and provides much needed "how to" info in a manner that is very accessable to those who never intended to spend their time testifying in court, but find themselves in that position.

Saved me
When I got a call from a lawyer, I didn't know what to do. I found this book online, and wow was I lucky. Lots of useful trips which kept me out of trouble. Thank you.

super course
Used this for a college course - very informative and fun to use. ... Read more

Access To Healthcare Should Not Be A Freemarket Perk
Along with many Americans I frimly believe in freemarkets providing goods and services to the American people. America is one of the wealthiest countries in the world because of our adherence to the freemarket system. However, our citizens rank near the bottom in health status. Americans have lower life expectancy, more health-related morbidity and higher adolescent death rates than most other advanced nations in the world and even some developing countries.

Good book for a difficult situation
While going through a divorce can be difficult, this book shows that there are real, concrete ways to make it less so.The book is well organized.Written in plain English, it's also easy to understand.It offers good tips and links to other valuable resources.The book provides important guidelines for managing finances, preparing and filing legal papers, dividing property and more.The author continually stresses the importance of taking the high road, which helps keep the flame low on a potentially volatile situation.When both parties are in respectful relationship to each other, she writes, it helps ease the process and make for a smoother transition after the divorce, which is especially important when there are children to consider. ...

Be Sure to Get the Newest Edition
(As of 10/27, it wasn't listed on Amazon, so you might have to go to the Nolo site to get it)
Worked for me
Well, I did my own divorce in 2000 and I used this book. It can be confusing if you are trying to do a more involved divorce. Mine was a simple agreed divorce, with no kids or property to split up... So if you got more things involved, you might want to use a lawyer or do as much as you can by yourself to save you money.

A very expensive mistake
This book does not cover some extremely important issues, such as appeals, appeal periods and motions for new trials.

Essays cover everything from legal issues and points to ethical concerns
At first glance it would seem that THE CASE OF TERRI SCHIAVO: ETHICS AT THE END OF LIFE is another focus on her case alone - but actually its focus on end-of-life ethical questions holds far more meaning for the living than for the dead of the past. The ethical dilemmas surrounding end of life are many - and are surveyed in depth in a coverage which uses not just Terri's case but similar cases to expose issues, struggles and obstacles to quality of life and survival. Essays cover everything from legal issues and points to ethical concerns.

Rich man's expert
As a psychologist in private practice in Danville, CA specializing in child custody evaluations and well known in child custody circles as the "rich man's expert" he encourages you to use the services of an evaluator. It often takes more than 4 months and costs in California $1,500.00 per parent and up.
Complex Issues in Child Custody Evaluations
An absolute must for any mental health professional who does any custody related work, or any attorney who ever has, or might, handle a divorce casewith contested custody!Phil Stahl is one of the most coherent, literate anduseful writers in this area; he has the experience, the knowledge and agreat way of telling it all so that it makes a great deal of sense. Nolibrary is complete without this title!

What to know before you head into a custody evaluation
This book should definately be read by a lay person to obtain an understanding of the thinking in the custody evaluation process.An understanding of the family law process is a plus when reading the book. Generally, I found the book short of definitive guidance in the area ofcustody evalations and overpriced.Regardless of these shortfalls, thebook is worth reading and consulting before treading the murky waters of acustody evaluation. ...
