It is the letter that is sent to the evaluator from CPS outlining what it is they want evaluated specifically. It is important to have copy of that letter and do not sign a confidentiality statement for CPS until you have two things. One, a copy of the letter and supporting documentation, and two a general direction of the diagnosis prior to the info by DSHS is submitted. The psych eval is not a therapeutic tool. It is a legal process that is used to get people to incriminate themselves and most of the time they don't have a good reason for requiring it of extended family.<br />Don't be afraid to question the validity of this requirement. They have to have a reason and find out what their reason is before you complete the eval. You can question their reasons in court and ask the court to rule on it. The court may try to refer back to DSHS, but then you can file a motion to reconsider then appeal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949272793553548917.post-80382022093667357112009-09-25T07:18:29.079-07:002009-09-25T07:18:29.079-07:00We are being asked to do a psych.eval. and this is...We are being asked to do a psych.eval. and this is after a favorable adoption home study was done independently by a lady with 25 years experience.
