forensic assessments

Forensic assessments are thorough evaluations conducted by trained professionals to gather objective information about a person's mental state, abilities, or behavior, often for legal purposes. These assessments may involve interviews, psychological tests, and review of records to understand issues like competency, mental health, or risk. They help courts make informed decisions in criminal cases, custody disputes, or other legal matters, ensuring that judgments are based on comprehensive, evidence-based insights into an individual's psychological functioning.
