By: CONCEPT Professional Training Conducting well-constructed forensic psychological evaluations is not enough to persuade judges, attorneys, and other referral sources. Examiners must also be able to effectively communicate what data they considered, what actions they took, and the opinions they formed and underlying reasoning. Because psychologists, in most cases, do not testify about their work, reports and affidavits the vehicles they must use. This is the focus of this workshop. Research on forensic examiners’ report-writing practices is reviewed; how forensic practice guidelines, the ethics code, and rules of evidence and procedure shape reports is considered; principles for the organization and structure of forensic reports are identified; and elements of good (and bad) reports are highlighted using multiple examples. More focused matters such as use of jargon; specificity in word choice; identifying sources of information; Some of the learning objectives for this workshop include: List the primary purposes of reports and affidavits that summarize their forensic evaluations; About Forensic Training Academy and CONCEPT Professional Training The Forensic Training Academy at John Jay College of Criminal Justice is Directed by Dr. Patricia Zapf.
