Abstract
Clinicians and forensic examiners who negotiate the legal system need to have some understanding of the forensic issues involved in diagnosing, treating, and forensically evaluating traumatically disabled subjects involved in civil litigation and criminal prosecution. At the same time, attorneys may appreciate some insight into the sometimes untidy real-life psychological worlds their clients inhabit while pursuing civil claims or asserting criminal defenses.
