You are asked by the court to evaluate a 70-year old woman to help determine her
competence. She is apparently disoriented and confused and has substantial memory
loss. You have recently taken a weekend workshop on the use of a new computerized
assessment technique for people with symptoms like those exhibited by this woman,
and you feel this method of assessment would be especially valid in this situation.
Further, you had taken the workshop specifically because you want to expand your
practice by being qualified to conduct competency-related evaluations for the court.
Your best course of action would be to:
a) use the program to assess the woman
b) use the program to assess the woman but, when testifying in court, discuss the
potential limitations of your conclusions
c) use the program to assess the woman but confirm your conclusions before testifying
by consulting with the developer of the assessment technique
