ABSTRACT
The nature of the psychiatric setting in which the clinical psychologist functions, he will be expected to meet with his professional colleagues in psychiatry and social work in order to discuss cases with which all or some of these workers have had contact. While it is obvious that participation in the clinical staff conference is an important function for the psychologist, it is of interest that little attention has been given either in universities or in clinical settings to the process of psychological case reporting at staff conferences. The chapter presents a guide to more adequate psychological reporting at clinical case conferences which takes into consideration the limitations of the practices. Preparation is vital to the psychologist's participation at the staff conference. A conference may be called with reference to the disposition of a court case. The psychologist should contribute material that has pertinence for the purpose of the conference.
