This on-demand professional training program on Maximizing Relevancy in Forensic Report Writing is presented by Terry Kukor, PhD, ABPP.

This program focuses on a bold new way of approaching forensic report writing. Ever wonder why we structure our forensic reports as we do or why we include some things that don’t seem pertinent in forensic reports? Do you dread typing or dictating lengthy histories? Do you struggle to make decisions about what data points are relevant in forensic reports? Do you feel intimidated or discouraged when there are mountains of collateral information? Have longer reports left you wondering if anyone will actually read more than the conclusion? If so, this program can help. Specific strategies for decision-making about what data to include and practical approaches for implementing these strategies in report writing are presented. A step-by-step review of how to effectively map clinical data to functional legal capacities is presented and then tied to a novel report-writing strategy that emphasizes efficiency, clarity, and relevancy.
