The June 2015 issue of The Guardian features a response article about Shaken Baby Syndrome that I co-wrote with Keith Findley, Katherine Judson, Melissa Staas, Diane Redleaf, and Dr. Charles Hyman. The article raises concerns about the diagnostic reliability of certain medical findings that are used as the basis for allegations of child abuse and emphasizes the duty of child welfare attorneys to investigate their cases and to look critically at any medical diagnosis that purports to draw a legal conclusion. A free copy of this article can be downloaded from the Social Science Research Network.
