| Popis: |
Physicians may be asked to provide opinions on forensic issues affecting their patients which complicate the doctor-patient relationship. Physicians and neuropsychologists can work well together to address legal matters that arise during routine patient care or from attorney referrals once a matter becomes a legal dispute in civil or criminal court. Medical information from the physician and neuropsychological test data accurately interpreted by the neuropsychologist, along with a clear understanding of the legal issue being contested, can help the courts accurately interpret medical and neurobehavioral science accurately. This chapter will provide a brief overview of the various civil and criminal legal proceedings that patients may face and how these legal matters can be addressed with collaboration between physicians and neuropsychologists. |
