    1/1

    Forensic psychology is the intersection between psychology and the justice system.

    It involves understanding fundamental legal principles, particularly with regard to

    expert witness testimony and the specic content area of concern (e.g.,

    competence to stand trial, child custody and visitation, or workplace discrimination,

    as well as relevant jurisdictional considerations (e.g., in the !nited "tates, the

    denition of insanity in criminal trials di#ers from state to state in order to be ableto interact appropriately with judges, attorneys and other legal professionals. $n

    important aspect of forensic psychology is the ability to testify in court as an expert

    witness, reformulating psychological ndings into the legal language of the

    courtroom, providing information to legal personnel in a way that can be

    understood.

     %he forensic psychologist views the client or defendant from a di#erent point of

    view than does a traditional clinical psychologist. "eeing the situation from the

    client&s point of view or 'empathiing' is not the forensic psychologist&s task.

     %raditional psychological tests and interview procedure are not su)cient when

    applied to the forensic situation. In forensic evaluations, it is important to assess the

    consistency of factual information across multiple sources. Forensic evaluators must

    be able to provide the source on which any information is based. %reating

    psychologists do not routinely assess response bias or performance validity,

    whereas forensic psychologist usually do.

    Forensic psychologists perform a wide range of tasks within the criminal justice

    system.

    Settled insanity is defined as a permanent or "settled" condition caused by long-term substance

    abuse and differs from the temporary state of intoxication.

    Intoxication- If the symptoms are severe, the term "substance intoxication delirium" may be used.[4] Generic slang terms include getting high or being stoned  or blazed  !all usually in reference to

    cannabis, #ith many more specific slang terms for each particular type of intoxicant. $lcohol

    intoxication is even graded in intensity, from buzzed , to tipsy , all the #ay up

    to hammered , smashed , wasted  and a number of other similar terms. %light intoxication of a

    familiar substance is usually referred to as being bu&&ed.

    Depression is a state of lo# mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts,

    behavior, feelings and sense of #ell-being.[(][)] *eople #ith depressed mood can feel sad, anxious,

    empty, hopeless, helpless, #orthless, guilty, irritable, ashamed or restless. +hey may lose interest in

    activities that #ere once pleasurable, experience overeating or loss of appetite, have problems

    concentrating, remembering details or maing decisions, and may contemplate, attempt or

    commit suicide. Insomnia, excessive sleeping, fatigue, aches, pains, digestive problems or reduced

    energy may also be present.
