Parenting Selection

Psychologists are often called upon to conduct parenting assessments for child custody matters in an effort to determine parental fitness. Some experts feel this is not a good test of parental fitness while others prefer the opinion of an expert.

Given what you have learned, appraise the value of parenting assessments in child custody cases. What are the benefits? What are the faults?

In your replies, evaluate ways in which parenting assessments could be improved given the faults described by your peer.
