More About This Textbook

Overview

This comprehensive guide presents the literature on child custody evaluations in a coherent, logically integrated format that can be applied directly to practice.

Jonathan Gould proposes new assessment models that are based on studies of the 10 percent of divorced couples who pursue resolution of custody disputes. The book comprises a conceptual framework - history, systems, standards and rules, and business/office management issues, the evaluation process - practical hands-on guidance, and suggestions for the evaluator preparing for the court.

Integrates the multifaceted components of behavioral science literature and the law into a unified approach to child custody evaluations. The author discusses the role of the forensic child custody evaluator, a conceptual model for custodial assessment, the forensic interview of the parents, custodial determination, providing testimony in court, and report writing. The focus is on the commitment to craft child custody evaluations into empirically based, scientifically sound, legally admissible documents that serve the court.
