Welcome to Dr. Wade Silverman's forensic and clinical psychology site. Profit from our content-rich MindReader archive, which applies the discipline of psychology to both the law and to everyday life.
Dr. Silverman brings some of America's deepest clinical and academic experience to the practice of Forensic Psychology. He has worked with children, adolescents and families since 1969.
He chaired the psychological department at Emory University Medical School and is editor of the journal Psychotherapy, the Journal of the Division of Psychotherapy of the American Psychological Association. He is president of the Dade County Psychological Association for 2001-2002.
We operate with complete integrity and clinical honesty in working with our lawyer clients in their cases. We believe that our most supportable conclusions give lawyers the guidance they need to most effectively represent their clients. Forensic psychologists apply psychological problems to the courts. We believe a good forensic psychologist should first be a good clinician, just as a good cardiologist should first be a good internist.
Many lawyers easily forget that quantifiable psychological clinical tools are at our command today in making assessments for the courts. In cases such as rape and post-traumatic stress syndrome, the psychological effects are real.
