Tough Decisions
This week’s lecture focused on problem solving and decision making. What are some of the toughest decisions you’ve had to make in your life? What techniques (as explored in the Week 5 reading) did you use at the time to make them? Would you do anything differently now? Feel free to explore decisions you’ve had to make in your schooling, career (past or present), family life and with friendships.
Your work should be at least 500 words, but mostly draw from your own personal experience. This should be written in first person and give examples from your life. Be sure if you are using information from the readings that you properly cite your readings in this, and in all assignments.
PLEASE IN YOUR OWN WORDS!!!! NO PLAGIARISM!!!!!

1)The readings demonstrate some of the conflicting ethics
between the legal system and science. For instance, the legal
system is founded upon an adversarial model (here in the U.S.
anyway –other countries use different models). In our adversarial
legal system, and attorneys are ethically obligated to advocate for
their client and tell the best story possible for their “side” out
of the evidence available. In contrast, science is founded on
objectivity – not advocacy – and thus data is supposed to speak for
itself rather than be shaped to tell a good story. Why are these
competing ethical foundations between the legal system and science
important for understanding the challenge of practicing forensic
psychology?
2)When a psychologist accepts a referral to do a forensic
evaluation, who is the “client?” Discuss how and why this is a
complicated question.
3)Can a forensic psychologist wear “2 hats” – that is, can they
serve in multiple roles in a case? For instance, in a child custody
evaluation case, can a psychologist who provides treatment to the
family then become the forensic psychologist hired in the case to
conduct a child custody evaluation to help the court determine
custody arrangements? Why or why not?
