What is Forensic Psychology?
Forensic psychology refers to the interface between two rather disparate disciplines: psychology/behavioral sciences and the law. Forensic psychology is a subspecialty in which the clinical and scientific expertise of the psychologist is applied to legal issues in the legal community. A forensic psychologist must have a fundamental understanding of the legal as well as professional standards that govern their participation as psychological experts in legal proceedings in addition to specialized expertise. Therefore, psychologists who conduct forensic evaluations must have a broad clinical background as well as superior assessment skills. Dr. Leporowski practices in accord with the Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists, a joint statement of the American Psychology-Law Society and Division 41 of the APA
