Dr. Williams is a recognized expert in the assessment and treatment of persons with workplace injuries. He has authored peer reviewed chapters and papers on the objective assessment and treatment of injured workers.
Psychiatric treatment consultations are for the purpose of diagnosing psychiatric conditions and recommending appropriate treatment. They are not for the purpose of litigation. Consultations are typically requested by other health care providers and a doctor patient relationship may be established. The MMPI-3 is used in all psychiatric treatment consultations to refine diagnostic specificity and to provide an objective measure of severity. The results are reviewed with the patient to develop treatment goals and to measure progress in treatment through serial re-assessments.
