Abstract
This dissertation purposes a practice-oriented framework for the role of the lawyer/clinical psychologist (LCP) in consultation to the legal profession. It reviews the psychological perspective on lawyers and the legal profession, spotlighting the effects of alcoholism in the legal profession and both legal and psychological attempts to remedy those effects. Theoretical and practical aspects of the role of the psychologist as mental health consultant are examined. Differences in psychological type among three categories of lawyers (271 practicing lawyers, 128 Judges, and 84 administrative Attorneys) are examined with the use of archival data from administrations of the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory. Results confirm predictions derived from the psychological literature, that differing prevalences of personality type and aspects of personality type can be discerned for each of the specializations, with an overall emphasis on thinking at the expense of feeling, and an overall prevalence of combinations of thinking and judging. Relevance to psycholegal consultation by LCPs and implications for future research are discussed.
