Hello, world, welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Tuesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the most popular or interesting occupations or professions who shares an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

Today I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Dr. Richard Latteri, and our topic,

A Day in the Life, what's it really like to be a forensic psychologist?

Welcome, Dr. Luteri.

Thank you.

Glad to be with you, Don.

It is our pleasure.

Are you using your talents doing work

that you love, Richard? Yes, I think I am. I've always been an introspective kind of guy,

even as a kid. I think that's sort of a requirement to be a psychologist generally.

We're going to delve into the entire backstory, so thank you for that start.

Dr. Richard LaTerry is a forensic neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst with over 25 years of experience,

whether privately retained or appointed by the court,

he's frequently called upon to assess individuals for a number of reasons, including

competency to send trial and insanity, and to evaluate individuals accused of sex crime and violent

offenses. Dr. LaTierry received his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California and is a member

of the expert witness panels of Orange County and San Bernardino County Superior Courts.

He's taught at Chapman University in Orange County, California, at the New Center for Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles,

and at Pepperdine University in the master's and doctoral programs.
