For this assignment, look back at the work you have done so far on your milestones. For each point where you used scientific evidence to validate and support a comment, argument, or decision you made, evaluate it to be sure it meets the criteria for FRE 702.
This milestone addresses Part VIII of the final project, as follows:
Analyze the extent to which the information you are providing the court meets FRE 702. In other words, how can the court be sure your testimony is based on sufficient facts or data and is derived from reliable principles or methods? Be sure to justify your claims with specific research.

Title: Efficacy of Treatment Strategies for a Client with PTSD: Integrating Classic and Contemporary Psychology Theories
Take your case report from PSY 622 develop part VII of the final project:
Discuss the efficacy of treatment strategies appropriate for this particular client. How do classic and contemporary psychology theories support these conclusions?
Make sure this section of your assessment reflects the most current in clinical practices. You will also want to take into account ethical practices and the roles that may be taken by any individuals involved in the treatments. Remember to consider who hired you (the law firm in the final project) and, therefore, to whom you are responsible to disclose information.
I have attached the rubric, the scenario, the case report from 622, and the previous two milestones that goes along with this one. -
