Psych dq

Take a position related to reliability of clinical judgment and write an argument about the admissibility/non-admissibility of mental health professionals’ testimony. Back up your assertions with references from case law or from peer-reviewed literature. (Just choose a side and argue it; it doesn’t have to be the side you believe in, and it's okay if you are uncertain. But write up a solid argument.)

Issue post is due by Day 4 (Thursday) and at least one substantive response post is due by Day 6 (Saturday).
