Forensic Psychology Defined
Forensic psychology is the intersection of the practice of psychology and the law. The American Board of Forensic Psychology defines forensic psychology thusly:
[T]he application of the science and profession of psychology to questions and issues relating to law and the legal system. Forensic psychologists use the principles of psychology to communicate with attorneys, judges, and other legal specialists to analyze and understand the psychological details of various cases (https://doi.org/10.1016/B0-08-
043076-7/01387-5)
Our Services
At CFCPNJ LLC, we provide comprehensive forensic psychological evaluations and consultation for individuals—both plaintiffs and defendants—involved in civil, criminal, immigration, and crimmigration cases, along with objective and well-articulated psychological reports. We apply state-of-the-art psychological principles and assessment procedures based on well-validated research to ensure optimal determinations of evidenced-based findings and conclusions. We strive to examine all available components of the client and their case, utilizing all available information to craft clear, well-defined, and effective impact statements and conclusion.
Each psychological evaluation is performed and overseen by one or two of our licensed forensic psychologists at CFCPNJ LLC and the aid of an internal team of master-level forensic psychology assistants who perform scribal duties, conduct research, collateral interviews, and document reviews, and assist in the draft development of the psychology report. We also employ a team of highly trained professional editors to ensure that each report is written and organized to the highest degree of clarity and impact. This team approach allows us to deliver thorough and thoughtful evaluations and provide comprehensive, clearly elucidated, evidence-based, and convincing psychological reports.
Our psychological reports include a rich and detailed narrative of the evaluee’s background and current situation, an in-depth discussion of emotional and psychological conditions related to the current case and history, and scholarly research to support all findings and recommendations. When necessary, reports also include evidence-based diagnoses of any underlying psychological conditions, along with treatment and/or psychological evaluation plans. Collateral interviews, as per the evaluee’s signed informed consent, are also conducted and a summary of the contact is provided in the appendix section of the psychological report.
Some aspects of our evaluations include differentiating the impact of a current situation (such as trauma or abuse) from any prior events to determine the extent of psychological issues, including:
• If the current situation played a role in their emotional distress.
• To what the degree the presenting situation affects their psychological wellbeing.
• How past experiences influenced the present psychological presentation, if any. If past experiences and psychological issues are not overlapping with the current psychological presentation, specific details and evidence-based statements are provided. This process is especially crucial in civil litigation cases. We also assess the validity of data by comparing documents to find corroboration.
We approach each case with objectivity and conscientiousness, acutely aware that clients’ lives often hang in the balance. Some components of our process include:
• Addressing the legal questions at hand, providing the facts of the case and incidents, identifying evidence-based and well-defined diagnoses, and formulating objective and credible opinions.
• Providing comprehensive, clear, and detailed psychological evaluations and reports.
• Conducting collateral interviews all over the world with the evaluee's informed and signed consent.
• Approaching each evaluation with the understanding that each case is unique and, subsequently, tailoring our process to the specific needs of each case.
• Providing a rapid turnaround time with optimal diligence.
• Overseeing high profile cases with discrete, experienced, and compassionate care and delivery.
• Visiting detainees in jails, prisons, and detention centers located in NY, NJ, PA, and WI.
• Serving clients with our team comprised of compassionate and professional individuals who provide tailored services to ensure each case is treated with exceptional attention to detail and precision.
• Conducting evidence-based research that is incorporated into our well-elucidated psychological reports.
• Applying the most up to date research on cross-cultural issues to specific presenting circumstances and relating research findings to the psycho-legal questions that are under review.
