In May 2002, my son was taken to the hospital in a state of status epilepticus. He was placed into a barbiturate coma. A scan showed a subdural hematoma. Hospital staff felt that he had been a victim of shaken baby syndrome.

My son's father and I passed two polygraph examinations each: one administered privately, one administered by the sheriff department. My father, mother, and sister all passed a privately administered polygraph examination.

No one was ever convicted.

I need to know what happened to my son.

1) Was he abused? If so, who did it?

2) If he was not abused (as some recent research suggests that human shaking alone cannot cause the force to induce a subdural hematoma, especially without first harming the neck), what was the cause of his subdural hematoma?

To answer these questions, I will need the assistance of (at least) two or three medical professionals and a private detective. Please help me raise money to do so. Thank you.

Emotionally charged issues abound in matrimonial practice, especially in custody disputes. Expert testimony can have a dramatic impact on the outcome of a case, and when matters are highly sensitive or sensational the seeming objectivity of an expert can be dispositive.

Keeping up with the data had been a challenge, but one integrated resource has made it simple.

Psychological Experts in Divorce Actions, Fifth Edition pulls all the research together into the definitive guide to understanding the role of psychological evaluations in divorce and custody actions. Focused on providing the best approach to protecting your client's interests, this work explains all the leading testing instruments,what conclusions may be drawn and how to challenge or support those conclusions. In addition to offering effective examination and cross-examination strategies, it assists you in handling the gamut of psychological factors that affect clients in divorce and custody cases.

Forensic Social Work: Psychosocial and Legal Issues in Diverse Practice Settings

"Regardless of their field of practice, all social workers must understand how legal issues impact the financial, psychological, emotional, and social concerns that their clients face. Yet legal issues are rarely integrated in social work education in a meaningful and practical way. Therefore, it is imperative that social workers gain the interdisciplinary knowledge of the laws and policies that affect their client populations. ... [T]his book will allow social workers to navigate the complex social and legal issues that affect their clients."
