Forensic Assessment Practicum





(Readings marked with * are required for each module; others are suggested for those who wish to pursue the subject matter in greater depth and as an introduction to the professional scholarship in the area.)



These modules are designed to give clinical psychology and psychiatry students an introduction to the basic elements of mental health law and practice and to prepare them for rotation at the Forensic Unit at Utah State Hospital. Many aspects of the specialization, within the time frame allotted, cannot be covered. Other courses are regularly offered in the Department of Psychology and by special arrangement for those interested in pursuing this specialty.
