Who, exactly is ''disabled'' under Title I of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act? How can employers perform applicant interviews without attracting lawsuits? Written primarily for use by psychologists, this collection of 16 articles covers the foundations of litigation, case law, case strategy, protected groups, and special topics such as valid selection and performance appraisal standards, cut scores, and expert witness testimony. Topics include professional and technical authorities and guidelines, including how psychologists can become better qualified in employment discrimination issues, statistical trends in private sector employment discrimination suits and what these trends indicate for employers, and common themes in discrimination cases and how to approach them. The editors find that psychologists' unique skills have been and will be particularly helpful in their employers' efforts to counter suits or seek a way to avoid them.
