    When is a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Claim Legitimate...and When Is It Not?

    The Therapist as Expert Witness? Reasons the Treating Psychotherapist Should Not Be the Expert Witness
    In civil cases where emotional distress is alleged, it often occurs that the plaintiff’s attorney designates the treater as his expert. Usually the argument is that the plaintiff’s own therapist has spent many more hours with the plaintiff than the defense expert and therefore "knows" the plaintiff better. The treater often agrees with this reasoning
