Okay, I have been convinced that the polygraph is unreliable, being at best as effective as using a coin toss to determine the truth.  Now, I wonder if anyone knows of professionals who evaluate individuals for sex offense risk (no act alleged in my case--all other aspects of the investigation/assessment have shown there to be no problem) who do not use or require the use of a polygraph.  That is the sticky point I face now.  Are there such professionals who do not include the polygraph in their assessment tools?  I live in Washington state.  

It amazes me that such a non-scientific tool is used by people have have master's and doctorates, when most of the APA (American Psychologists Ass'n) and other venerable men and women have severely critiqued its use and its serious fallibility.
