I recently provided some expert witnessing services for a case relevant to BDSM, and the lawyer provided the review below.
“I hired Dr. Sheff for a criminal jury trial where the jury was being asked to discern between BDSM and intimate partner violence. Dr. Sheff was communicative and accessible leading up to trial and her testimony was crucial in helping the jury understand the nuance of BDSM and physical acts of intimacy that are non-traditional. She testified very clearly and made everything very digestible. She provided necessary testimony to help mitigate some of the judgment and misunderstanding around BDSM. She did an excellent job on cross examination, sticking to her opinions and coming off credible and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.”

One of a handful of global experts on polyamory and the foremost international expert on children in polyamorous families, Dr. Elisabeth Sheff has studied gender and
families of sexual minorities for the last 25 years. Sheff’s television appearances include CNN, and the National Geographic, and she has given more than 100 radio, podcast, print, and television interviews with sources from CNN, the New York Times, and Vogue to National Public Radio, the Sunday London Times, the Boston Globe, and Newsweek. By emphasizing research methodology and findings in her discussions, Dr. Sheff presents the kind of public intellectualism that encourages audience members to think critically regarding gender, sexualities, and families.
