The general psychiatrist need only read The Psychiatrist in Court, It is indeed a survival guide, taking the reader through every phase of court involvement. Dr. Gutheil writes with humor and compassion, yet with a keen explanation of the intricacies of the 'game, ' so that the reader cannot help but become a competent and comfortable witness. Everything a psychiatrist needs to know in this respect, including personnel and procedures of the courtroom, depositions, the trial itself and errors and pitfalls, are clearly presented.... When I say that notwithstanding my 40 years of experience as an expert witness I have learned much from these two books, it should be readily apparent that Dr. Gutheil has a great deal to say of inestimable value to both the non-forensic psychiatrist and the forensic psychiatrist. - Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law
