Forensic Psychology
The role of forensic Psychology requires a guided approach that understands the justice system, law and human behaviour, especially how all these interact to effect a just society.
At Insight Wellbeing P/L, we have established to undertake the required Forensic Psychology assessments that inform how the Police, Courts and Prisons process and treat all their suspects and convicted individuals in ways that address their offending behaviours beyond just incarceration. Forensic Psychology assists in the areas that clinical and counselling Psychology can focus on through providing indepth reports before the justice process is concluded, this includes how a suspects is treated, as well as the level of aftercare required for convicted individuals. Release date should not be the end of corrective measures, the community at large will continue these activities, and as such guidance is required in these areas to empower community teams and their interventions.
If you or someone you know has been in conflict with the law, reach out so that we can help prepare a report that will inform the justice system how to assist you throughout the entire process. Forensic Psychology reports may not necessarily defend your case, but provide insights that can help way beyond your case.
A complete report requires about 3 sessions to complete, they do not simply focus on the crime, but knowing the person and especially aim to explain why and how they end up getting caught up on the wrong side of the law, but most importantly, what remedies are required to prevent such events from occurring again.
The most important part of this entire process is to manage any risks associated with the offence, as well as the impact on its victim(s).

3 Skills required in Forensic Psychology:
Forensic Psychology is the application of scientific psychology to the resolution of legal conflicts.
- The first skill is knowledge of the legal issues to be addressed.
- Examples of such issues are: criminal responsibility,
- Legal competencies, and fitness to plead/stand trial and
- linking mental states to legal issues in question. - The second set of skills comprises those skills often required by the demands of the legal system— specifically,
- gathering complete information about the case at hand,
- striving for neutrality,
- reconstructing the past, and
- predicting the future. - The last set of skills includes practical ones required during the process of litigation—that is,
- supporting the retaining attorney’s overall strategy,
- addressing the testimony to the appropriate audience, and
- deferring to the prerogative of the fact finder.
