In The Wounded Attorney, authors Young and Packman explore how mental health issues appear in the legal profession by examining attorney disbarment records and arguing for a therapeutic approach to attorney discipline that destigmatizes mental health issues.

In The Wounded Attorney, Catherine Young and Wendy Packmanprovide keen insight and commentary into how psychological disorders manifest in attorneys. Attorneys experience an alarming rate of mental health challenges, yet mental health and substance abuse issues often go unnoticed by colleagues and are unacknowledged by attorneys themselves. As both attorneys and psychologists, the uniquely qualified Young and Packman explore how mental health issues appear in the legal profession. The authors urge for an overhaul of the current framework of attorney discipline and construct a compelling argument for a therapeutic approach that destigmatizes mental health issues.

Catherine Young is licensed attorney and clinical psychologist. Wendy Packman is professor emerita of psychology at Palo Alto University (PAU) and the director, emerita of the Joint JD-PhD program in psychology and law at PAU and Golden Gate University Law School.
