"Much of Dr. Greenfield's book entitled A Practical Guide to Forensic Mental Health Consultation through Aphorisms and Caveats applies to other forensic medical examinations as well. I find Dr. Greenfield's book both insightful and entertaining. It is structured to follow the evaluation process from engagement of the expert to the collection of the fees. [...] [The] book encourages us to see advocacy in a different light. In order to be effective, the expert must advocate for the use of solid science and the application of evidence based medicine to the case. [...] I spent an interesting afternoon reading Dr. Greenfield's latest book. It allowed me to reflect on what I am doing as a medical expert, and how to do it even better. I recommend this book to all of my fellow examiners." Excerpt from a review by Peter Blumenthal, M.D., M.P.H., Read the full review HERE

"This is a clever and witty little book that guides mental health professionals through the sometimes treacherous waters of the legal system and legal professionals through the often confusing worlds of psychiatry and psychology. They meet in the courtroom, and Dr. Greenfield explains the do's and don'ts to both sides in appealing and memorable ways." Herman Huber, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Former Chair of Psychology, College of Saint Elizabeth, Morristown, NJ

"As an attorney who has employed expert witnesses, it is wonderful to read a book that gives me insight into the differences in approach, thought processes, and goals of an attorney and a forensic mental health professional. These differences are presented in a format that is easy to both read and understand. In fact, I think this book could be useful to an expert witness in almost any field. Get this book if you want a practical, concise guide to the world of the expert witness." Lorane Posner, Esq.

"This is a well-conceived, user-friendly gem of a book that will prove to be an essential 'how-to' guide for mental health professionals and expert witnesses who work with lawyers in a forensic context. It's jam-packed with practical tips and useful advice that can be applied immediately." Felicia T. Farber, Esq., Farber Resolutions LLC

"As an attorney who is also an MSW, I well know the sparsity of guidance to bridge the gap of the worlds of forensic mental health and law. A Practical Guide to Forensic Mental Health Consultation by Dr. Daniel P. Greenfield helps bridge that gap. A Practical Guide is a well-thought-out, well-written, informative, entertaining, and important guidebook. Dr. Greenfield's concise book is a valuable asset to both attorneys who retain forensic mental health professionals and to the forensic mental health professionals retained. It helps both professions lower their frustration levels while working with each other more effectively. As a retired Superior Court judge wrote in the foreword, 'Read this book!'"
