Forensic psychosexual assessments consist of clinical interviews and a variety of psychological tests that may determine mood disorders, substance abuse, trauma and cognitive and personality functioning. A risk assessment may be included. All pertinent legal and medical records are reviewed.
As clinicians we are well versed in the research literature surrounding sexual offending and treatment. This combination makes for effective testimony.

“When I represent a client before the Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB) I want my expert to be articulate, knowledgeable and to thoroughly know the facts of the case. One expert that I have used that meets these criteria is Dr. Joseph Doherty. I have used him in SORB cases and would unhesitatingly recommend him as a expert witness in matters of this sensitive nature.”
