Watch a Lawyer try to manipulate a Psychologist
Amber Heard's lawyer tries to disqualify psychologist for allegedly improper behavior
If you want a masterclass1 in how to defend oneself against manipulate questioning, watch this psychologist respond to a manipulative plaintiff’s manipulative lawyer who tries to allege wrongdoing based upon the following actions:
The psychologist interviewed with the accused client over a meal and a drink at his house.
I think the lawyer is implying that it was wrong to accept the meal from the potential client she was interviewing with
The psychologist had her husband pick up muffins to share with people involved in the case, including Amber Heard, the lawyer’s client.
I think the lawyer is trying to get the psychologist disqualified for violating confidentiality by letting her husband know she would be testifying in the Amber Heard/Johnny Depp case because she brings muffins when working with high-profile cases.
QUESTIONS:
Do you suspect that the manipulative line of question was requested by Amber Heard, who has Borderline personality disorder?
Why do you think the lawyer was asking this line of questioning? Was she trying to disqualify the psychologist as an expert witness?
What techniques did the lawyer use? Near the end, she appeared to be attempting to trick the psychologist into implicitly agreeing to certain premises by answering the question that followed them.

I’m conscious about the term “master”. Do you have a better term for the exhibition of mastery of a skill or subject?
