 Episode 384: What We Need to Know About Forensic Psychiatry with Dr. Mark Levy, Part III EPISODE NOTES Dr. Mark Levy’s unwavering dedication to forensic psychiatry and the law is truly inspiring. After over 40 years in the field, his passion remains as strong as ever. What keeps him so engaged? It’s the intricate nuances of complex civil and criminal cases and building credibility through his unique team approach in the field. This podcast conversation is relevant for every business owner. Since 1992, every business owner I’ve worked with has faced legal issues such as lease disputes, employee problems, partnership transitions, property damages, copyright infringements, embezzlement, economic downturns, natural disasters, and more. Business comes with its share of challenges, and the law is there to help us find solutions. The longer you’re in business, the more you realize that unexpected events can occur, and having the legal system to protect our interests and resolve disputes becomes essential. Dr. Mark Levy provides relevant examples and answers each of the five questions below with prudent eloquence. 1. Dr. Mark Levy gave us a working definition of forensic psychiatry. When we think of forensics, Dr. Levy mentioned we think of dead bodies and autopsies, but forensics means the law and forensic psychiatry is the interface of law and psychiatry. This means you understand legal terminology and medical terms. He can prescribe medication, monitor its effects on the brain and body, and track and test human behavior and how one thinks. What would you like to add to this definition? Dr. Levy says, “Like the Forensic Pathologist or coroner whose task is to determine the cause of death, time of death, and sometimes information about the perpetrator, we are Psychopathologists trying to make evidence-based, accurate diagnoses, addressing in civil matters issues of “causation” and “damages.” In criminal matters, we mostly address issues of “capacity,” e.g., competency to stand trial, or to be sentenced, or NGRI (not guilty by reason of insanity – which is a legal, not a medical term).” 2. Can someone be both a treating psychiatrist and an independent forensic psychiatric expert for the same person, like someone who is a patient and a plaintiff or criminal defendant in a legal matter? If not, why not? 3. What kinds of questions are forensic psychiatrists asked to address by the attorneys who retain you and your team to help them educate and persuade the trier of fact both in Civil and Criminal litigation? 4. What is “mass torts” or “multi-plaintiff” litigation? How do forensic psychiatrists assist litigators who are trying or defending civil cases involving numbers of plaintiffs with similar complaints of emotional damages, for example, in sexual abuse cases like former USA Gymnastics team medical doctor Larry Nassar and journalist, author, and advice columnist E. Jean Carroll? 5. You also work in employment law as a forensic psychiatric consultant. Please tell us how you address wrongful termination and discrimination based on age, race, gender, ethnicity, retaliation, and failure to accommodate.

Conscious Attentive Leadership Mentoring After listening, do these three C.A.L.M. Activities: 1. Take this risk or do this adventurous task: What is your ethical duty in your lifework? A forensic psychiatric expert has a duty to the jury or judge, not to the attorney retaining the expert. A discrepancy arises when they don’t know their role. 2. Apply Self-Compassion: Vulnerability and resiliency are factored in when assessing emotional damages in criminal cases. Dr. Mark Levy described how our upbringing plays a part in our ability to be resilient.
