TY - JOUR T1 - "Telling tales out of court": a pilot study of experts' disclosures about opposing experts JF - Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online JO - J Am Acad Psychiatry Law SP - 449 LP - 453 VL - 28 IS - 4 AU - TG Gutheil AU - ML Commons AU - PM Miller AU - J LaLlave Y1 - 2000/12/01 UR - http://jaapl.org/content/28/4/449.abstract N2 - A pilot questionnaire surveyed forensic psychiatrists and psychologists about information they would feel it appropriate to disclose to their retaining attorneys about an opposing expert witness. A spectrum of hypothetical disclosures was offered, varying in their relevance to the case at hand and in their degree of "public" versus "personal" information. Respondents agreed significantly that "public" information could be disclosed to one's attorney, but responses about disclosing "personal" information varied widely. The findings and their implications are briefly discussed. ER -
