All of the examiners are competent in the assessment of individuals in the following forensic areas: Sexually dangerous persons, sexual psychopathic personalities, mentally ill and dangerous, competency to stand trial, not guilty by reason of insanity, competency to marry, competency to handle one’s own funds, etc.  Dr. Reitman in particular has provided recent assessments for competency to marry.
  4. Psychological assessments and custody studies.  Custody studies are a very controversial area.  Recent trends in research suggest that state of the art competency evaluations will attempt to keep both parents involved as much as possible.
