FORENSIC EVALUATIONS
FORENSIC ASSESSMENTS & EVALUATIONS
Forensic evaluations refer to comprehensive psychological assessments that intersect with the legal profession.
In these specific matters, psychologists are called into legal proceedings to provide objective and comprehensive psychological evaluations and to give expert witness testimony on particular areas of psychology and psychological functioning.
Dr. Paula Bruce has developed a unique expertise in forensic evaluations and has served as an expert witness—including testifying at trial—in various forensic matters including, but not limited to, trauma, sexual assault, sexual harassment (#metoo cases), rideshare sexual assault, employment discrimination, racial trauma, and clergy abuse.
Her expertise in these nuanced areas of psychology has provided expert insight and clarity in many legal situations of a delicate nature. For more information related to forensic assessments, evaluations, and other legal matters or media appearances, please contact drpaula@pbapsychology.com.
