Qualifications

• Dr Tully's specialist areas include disputed confessions to police and credibility of child witnesses re sexual abuse, including disputed adult "recovered" memories of childhood abuse (sometimes referred to as "false memory syndrome"). He is experienced in producing assessments for plaintiffs and defendants in questionable and possible deceptive presentations in respect of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other chronic pain and disabling conditions following personal injury, which affect future quality of life. Assessments of psychological harm and undue influence in cult related cases are provided. Risk assessments of sex offenders and life sentence prisoners seeking parole are also undertaken. Assessments of parental capacity especially of parents with mental disabilities or "learning difficulties" in family proceedings are frequently sought.  Dr Tully and his associates frequently run postgraduate workshops in specialised investigative interviewing.
