If you are seeking an independent psychological evaluation (IPE) to assess psychological damages, civil competencies and other legal issues, Clayman & Associates has the experience and capability to provide reliable assessments that can withstand rigorous scrutiny. We make psychological concepts understandable and useful in the legal setting, considering both direct and indirect factors that could impact the ultimate decisions addressed by the court. Our thorough evaluation approach relies on three important perspectives in considering an individual’s functioning:

​

How was the person functioning prior to the alleged harm?
How was the person functioning at the time of the evaluation? How has the alleged harm affected the person since the event and what are the likely long term effects?

​

​

Sexual Harassment
