Forensic psychological services for complex legal questions.
Forensic Behaviour Services provides specialized psychological assessment, consultation and expert services where psychological, behavioural and legal questions intersect.
Referrals may come from lawyers, courts, probation and parole services, correctional organizations and other professionals involved in legal decision-making.
Each assessment begins with the referral question. The nature and scope of the work are then determined according to the legal context, available information, professional standards and the psychologist’s area of competence.
