Abstract
The practice of giving expert clinical testimony about a psychological or psychiatric assessment in the presence of the subject of that evaluation is examined. The potential that this practice has for inflicting psychological trauma to the subject is considered, and discussed in the context of the principles of professional clinical ethics. It is proposed that current practice may violate certain of these principles. Suggested remedial action is outlined.
