Forensic Training Academy presents a workshop on Ethics in Forensics

TAMPA, Fla. - April 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Forensic Training Academy of John Jay College of Criminal Justice is partnering with CONCEPT Professional Training to host a Summer Training Institute June 1-5, 2015 in NYC. Attendees will participate in in-person workshops with internationally renowned experts in the forensic mental health field. Ethics in Forensic Psychological Practice is a 1-day workshop presented by Dr. Randy Otto. Early registration for this workshop ends May 1st!

Using a case study approach, this interactive workshop reviews ethical challenges/issues commonly encountered by forensic psychologists. It is NOT a workshop on ethics in general psychology practice. Attendees are encouraged to anchor their judgments in various sources of professional authority (e.g., ethical principles, practice guidelines). After a preliminary discussion of ethical decision making frameworks and various sources of authority relevant to forensic practice, the following challenges are discussed: distinguishing between informed consent, assent, and notification (and when each must be provided and obtained); documenting and communicating findings; issues of multiple roles; privacy, confidentiality and privilege in the forensic evaluation context; recording of, or third party presence during, evaluations; release of reports and test data; examination billing and reimbursement practices; altering reports; offering opinions about persons not examined; obligations to take into account issues of diversity in forensic evaluation contexts; use of social media data; and addressing substandard practice by peers.

Some of the workshop objectives include: Describe and use a 7 step process for considering ethical/legal dilemmas; List key sources of authority for forensic examiners and identify where and how they may be located; and identify conditions under which multiple roles are permitted, prohibited and discouraged.
