Evaluating Sexual Harassment Psychological, Social, and Legal Considerations in Forensic Examinations

EVALUATING SEXUAL HARASSMENT provides psychologists with essential information for conducting an evidence-based forensic consultation. The authors acquaint readers with the clinical and social scientific literature on sexual harassment, and they apply these findings to issues that psychologists must consider in preparing ethically sound and well-substantiated forensic reports and testimony. The book integrates existing research with current case law and the legal foundations of sexual harassment cases. It also offers a method for conducting a comprehensive evaluation of a plaintiff, as well as a science-based approach to the two major issues in sexual harassment disputes: causation and credibility. Of particular interest to readers will be the two illustrative case reports and the chapter on alternate dispute resolution. This will be a valuable resource for the experienced forensic practitioner who seeks a comprehensive review of the research. Beginning evaluators will find this a solid resource for initiating a practice in this area.Foote, William E. is the author of 'Evaluating Sexual Harassment Psychological, Social, and Legal Considerations in Forensic Examinations', published 2004 under ISBN 9781591471011 and ISBN 159147101X.
