$6.99
-Marc Ackerman, Ph.D.
Published in 1997, 206 pages

Divorce is tough for everyone involved, but it can be especially devastating for children. Ultimately, how children are affected depends on how parents conduct themselves during this trying time. Dr. Ackerman coaches you on every aspect of the divorce, custody and co-parenting process. You’ll learn how to help your children deal with their feelings about divorce, and handle the changes in their lives. You’ll also get a wealth of practical information on what to expect in the legal process, the ins and outs of various custody arrangements and visitation plans, and how to avoid the pitfalls of parenting from a distance.

Quotes: “…gives clear, practical guidelines to all parents who are wrestling with the pangs of separation and divorce.” – Lita Linzer Schwartz, Ph.D., ABPP

The Expert Expert Witness – More Maxims and Guidelines for Testifying in Court
$29.99
Psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals may be experts in their respective fields, but this expertise does not easily translate to effective courtroom testimony. Even veteran expert witnesses can encounter new challenges in these high-pressure situations, especially during a cross-examination where every statement and gesture can be scrutinized by an attorney searching for ways to dispute the expert’s credibility and opinions.

Short chapters punctuated by memorable maxims draw from the authors’ expansive personal experiences, as well as research and stories from other expert expert witnesses, to create this must-have resource that will inform and entertain expert witnesses for many years.

Stanley Brodsky, Ph.D.
published in 1999

Quotes: “This is a wonderful book. It is extremely useful for expert witnesses at all levels of experience. It is well written, succinct, highly readable, and engaging. It is a book that is enjoyable as well as educational…” Charles Patrick Ewing, J.D., Ph.D., ABPP

Female Sexual Abusers
$9.99
394 pages, published in 1999.

While a few more resources exist now then ten years ago, literature on female sexual abusers is still meager. Female abuser typologies are in flux, motivations rely more on assumptions than research results. Treatment modalities continue to be adapted from those used with men, and treatment outcomes remain undocumented. Every step we take to add to our knowledge of these hidden abusers is a step toward a safer society.

Female Sexual Abusers: Three Views is one such step, or perhaps more accurately, three. Drs. Davin Davin, Dunbar, and Hislop look at different aspects of female sexual abusers. Their rigorous, detailed research provides a deeper understanding of why woman abuse. Beginning with extensive literature reviews, their examination of women who abuse ranges from the characteristics of co-offenders, to factors in etiology of offending for women, to comparisons of psycho-social histories of women abusers and non-offending women in the same milieus.

A good but slightly dated book on this emerging topic.
