ABSTRACT Psychologists as experts may be engaged in criminal or family court cases involving Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma (SBS/AHT). There are unsettled questions within medical specialties regarding the diagnosis of SBS/AHT, as well as the mechanisms and timing of injuries. Psychologists need to be cautious about providing testimony based on findings from disciplines other than psychology. Forensic psychological consultation in SBS/AHT can be informed by the record of exoneration in these cases. Also, psychological research on processes in wrongful conviction such as the “mis-information effect” and forensic “confirmation bias” can inform such consultation and testimony.

摇晃的婴儿综合症/虐待性头部创伤:错误的定罪风险,错误的信息影响和心理咨询

摘要作为专家的心理学家可能会参与涉及摇晃的婴儿综合症/虐待性头部创伤(SBS / AHT)的刑事或家庭法院案件。关于SBS / AHT的诊断以及损伤的机理和时机,医学专业内还存在未解决的问题。心理学家在基于心理学以外学科的发现提供证词时需要谨慎。在这些情况下,可以通过免罪记录来告知SBS / AHT中的法医心理咨询。另外,对错误定罪过程的心理学研究,例如“错误信息效应”和法医“确认偏见”,可以为这种咨询和证词提供信息。
