This presentation is designed to provide an exploration of key topics regarding the utilization of Court Involved Therapists (CIT) in Family Court Processes. While CIT’s should rely on interventions derived from Evidence Informed Practice, some of these approaches
may still fall short of the mark due to the complexity of the high-conflict families we serve. Furthermore, some evidence-informed interventions derived from non-court based clinical practice may be misapplied to the family law setting. We will discuss this conundrum with respects to court-involved interventions with resist-refuse cases, neurodiverse children, as well consider the ramifications of utilizing court-involved therapists versus general therapeutic practitioner in family law cases
