Cox Associates: Range of Expertise
Our range of expertise from clinical, forensic, educational & occupational psychologists means that we can select the most appropriate psychologist to assist with your case. Occasionally, it may be better for two psychologists with complementary expertise to work on one report.
Family Expertise
Cox Associates has considerable experience in preparing reports for the family courts. As well as maintaining our own quality controls for the content, we have worked closely with a number of judges, solicitors, witness organisations & court officers to improve the style of reports and the performance of our experts in court. Many cases in this area are complex and have multi-layered issues. The list below gives an outline of the issues we are frequently asked to address, often several within one assessment:
- Assessment of Children & Families
- Residence
- Psychological & Drug Abuse
- Ability to Parent
- Capacity for Change
- Risk Assessment
Criminal Expertise
Cox Associates works with both the defence & prosecution in the criminal courts. Many people accused of crimes come from the most vulnerable sections of the population and a psychological report often assists the court to reach decisions which are just. The list below shows some of the questions which can be answered by a psychological report:
- Capacity for Change
- Risk Assessment
Employment Expertise
Employers are increasingly aware that they have a duty of care and that staff may be stressed by home or work situations. They will seriously under-perform and, if left untreated, may take a very long time to recover. Accidental injuries may also have considerable psychological consequences, leading to long absence from work or poor performance. Cox Associates' psychologists do reports for employers who are both concerned for the welfare of their staff and keen to have them back as efficient workers.
- Rehabilitation
- DDA Issues
- Stress
- Bullying & Harassment
Other Areas of Expertise
Cox Associates can help you or your clients in other ways not covered in our other areas of expertise. We work extensively in the educational field, particularly with those who have been failed by the educational system. In addition, Cox Associates offers therapy sessions for those needing to work out issues. Finally, we have extensive experience in the psychological effects of personal injury.
