I. T. VS. EDGEWOOD CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ET AL, CGC-21-590568, No. 09045580 (California State, San Francisco County, Superior Court May. 6, 2024) (2024)

`

`
`
`3.
`
`This Declaration is submitted in support of Defendants’ motion for leave of court for
`
`further mental examination of the Plaintiff to include neuropsychological testing.
`
`I have reviewed
`
`the draft report of Dr. Shaw’s psychiatric interview of the Plaintiff and his indication that such
`
`objective testing is necessitated here.
`
`submitted by Plaintiff in opposition.
`
`I have also reviewed the Declaration of Lynn Ponton, M.D.,
`
`4,
`
`A major purpose of doing the neuropsychological
`
`testing as part of a mental
`
`examination is to have objective information about the Plaintiff's functioning. Within an interview
`
`context, she can choose how to present herself without any objective verification of extent of
`
`difficulty. This relates to what are three componentsof the testing. One component focuses ontests
`
`of emotional functioning. This would go beyond what would amountto listing of symptomsthat she
`
`might present in interview as the tests can compare her array of symptom endorsem*nt to other
`
`people, allowing for a rating of degree of symptomsrelating to specific conditions. The testing of
`
`cognitive function would provide information about
`
`the extent of impact on her day-to-day
`
`functioning as might be present secondary to an emotional diagnosis. For example, someone might
`
`report being distractible or inattentive because of a mood disorder. However, the cognitive testing is
`
`the only way to determine if that is a significant problem. This would apply to a large array of
`
`possible complaints, these complaint can only be verified with objective cognitive tests. Otherwise,
`
`weare put in the position of simply accepting everything reported as being 100% accurate. This
`
`leads into the third component which evaluates validity of presentation. There are validity scales
`
`imbeddedin tests of emotional functioning so as to determine if symptomreport is reliable or possibly
`
`exaggerated. This again relates to the fact that with the interview the plaintiff has control of
`
`potentially exaggerating subjective report. The objective testing can ascertain the reliability of that
`
`report. There would also be performance validity measures to assure that performance on the
`
`cognitive tests is reliable and not exaggerated regarding problems. Assessing validity of presentation
`
`is a necessary component in medical-legal evaluations given the potential for secondary gain.
`
`Notably, the validity of Plaintiffs complaints is built into the objective testing. This will assist in
`
`determining the veracity of her claims as wellas the bases in any inconsistencies, as well as address the
`
`Qe

`
`I am informed through discovery, records and information to date that Plaintiff's
`
`allegations of sexual assault were not witnessed; there are no corroborating witnesses or evidence;
`
`the alleged perpetrator denies the event occurred; plaintiff has a history of nightmares/hallucinations
`
`|
`
`| of which include menstanding over her while she sleeps; plaintiff has a history of prior suicide
`| attempts, drug use, cutting and self-harming behavior; and plaintiff was previously found medically
`| unstable, cognitively impaired and in denial about the severity of her illness during a psychiatric
`
`| hospitalization. Objective testing will assist in understanding suchprior history andthereliability of

`
`The neuropsychological testing portion of the examination will be conducted for the
`
`purpose of ascertaining Plaintiffs present neuropsychological condition and the nature and extent of
`| Plaintiff's claimed injuries and damages resulting from the incident whichis the subject of Plaintiff's
`
`| Complaint. Due to the nature ofsuch testing,this test must be administered in person.
`

`
`This portion of the examination will include diagnostic tests or procedures necessary to
`
`properly evaluate Plaintiffs condition. I will determine the necessity of the tests and procedures. Under
`
`| no circ*mstances, however, shall any test or procedure be painful, protracted, or intrusive.
`
`This portion of the examination shall include whatever history and tests are required to

`
