Expert Testimony

Psychology and the Law
Dr. Cochrane has always maintained a strong commitment to conducting the creative, subjective and client-focused aspects of therapy within a framework of mainstream research in psychology.

Subsequently, he maintains a thorough and current awareness of clinical psychology research. He understands research design and the key issues of treatment and assessment validity. This combination of extensive clinical experience, knowledge of the professional literature and a willingness to participate in the legal process, allow him to make valuable contributions in appropriate legal situations.

He has provided assessments, reports and expert testimony on the nature and reliability of memory, on the use and misuse of hypnosis and on the meaning and importance of standarization of assessment tools. He has also provided expert testimony in sexual harassment cases and in murder cases.

Dr. Cochrane's five papers on psychology and the law have been published in American and Canadian law journals.
