In this post, Dr. Kathryn Ambeau delves into the importance of scientifically sound expert testimony in legal cases. Forensic psychologists adhere to the Daubert standard, which ensures that testimony is based on valid, tested methodologies accepted within the scientific community. They use psychological tests normed on forensic populations and base their conclusions on comprehensive data, not just subjective reports. With extensive training, including a doctorate in psychology and specialized postdoctoral experience, forensic psychologists provide objective, evidence-based evaluations that help maintain the integrity of the legal system.
