FOR 6435 - Forensic Ethics

(2 units)

Although consistent with the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists (APA 1990), there are also specific ethical nuances commonly encountered when working with the courts, parties to legal proceedings, within correctional and mental health facilities, and/or on behalf of legislative agencies. This course is designed to familiarize the students with these tenets, and to support ethical practice in forensic contexts.
