UVR&TA Week 1 Discussion

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing particularly on forensic assessment considerations in the Jolie/Pitt child custody case, including communication of the forensic assessment findings.

Post your responses to the following: 

• Explain what areas a forensic psychology professional may likely assess when making specific recommendations involving high-profile situations (e.g., the Jolie/Pitt child custody case). Provide specific examples.
• Recommend one juvenile forensic assessment instrument that the forensic professional would most likely use in making a decision regarding the case.
• Provide specific guidelines for effective communication of forensic assessment findings, especially considering the high-profile status of the case. Your ability as a forensic professional to remain impartial and to maintain confidentiality should be an important consideration.

Note: Your posts should be substantial (500 words minimum), supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources, and properly cited using APA style.
