Our practice is currently implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS, as we scale. My intent is to chronicle this journey in relative real-time, providing you all with an inside look into the process. Warning: this will be messy! I hope to keep it as real as possible, and sometimes “real” means complicated and challenging. This series is admittedly more relevant for larger group practice owners, but the principles are applicable across all levels of business. Today, I’m talking about our second “quarterly pulsing” meeting with our implementer!

Dr. Casey Mangnall is here to talk with me about the core features and nuances of forensic assessment when compared to traditional outpatient assessment (or “therapeutic evaluation”). This is a wide-ranging conversation. We start with major differences between forensic and outpatient assessment, then move to a more detailed discussion of effort testing among individuals with suspected intellectual disability. Casey and I also chat about the value of standardized testing in forensic settings, along with strategies for gathering collateral data and records.  Cool Things Mentioned The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting Psychological Evaluations for the Courts (Melton et al., 2018) Essentials of Forensic Psychological Assessment (Ackerman, M.)

She has received training in conducting a variety of forensic evaluations, including competency to proceed, mental state evaluations (e.g., not guilty by reason of insanity), violence risk assessments, and psychosexual evaluations. She also runs a private practice offering a blend of clinical and forensic evaluations, including both criminal and civil forensic evaluations (e.g., personal injury, parental fitness).

I’m honored to have Whitney Owens back on the podcast today. We’re tackling the often talked about but rarely achieved concept of work-life balance. Whitney and I have a deeper discussion than usual on the podcast…we get into the importance of a supportive community, having solid romantic and platonic relationships, and our own personal barriers to delegation.
