Abstract:
This nuts and bolts chapter for clinicians who perform independent medical examinations delves into the details of a psychiatric disability evaluation-from why the handshake at the beginning of the session is so important, to how to examine a claimant's credibility. Pertinent points from the AMA's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment are excerpted.
