Forensic psychologists are scientist-practitioners. They apply psychological knowledge, theory and skills to the understanding and functioning of legal and criminal justice systems, and to conducting research in relevant areas. They often work in criminal, civil and family legal contexts and provide services for litigants, perpetrators, victims, and personnel of government and community organisations.

Forensic psychologists are employed in a variety of areas, including:

Courts and other tribunals.
Mental health (both general services and forensic mental health services).
Corrections (adult and juvenile, prisons and community).
Child protection.
Family services (e.g., family violence counselling services, parent training programs).
Alcohol and other drug services.
Rehabilitation services (e.g., pain clinics, head injury services).
Police.
Academia, research and policy organisations.
Private practice.
Skills and competencies of forensic psychologists

Collecting and reporting (both in written reports and oral) evidence of a psychological nature for use in legal and quasi-legal proceedings.
Psychological assessment and report writing.
Psychological formulation and diagnosis.
Psychological intervention (psychoeducation; individual, group and family psychotherapies; rehabilitation).
Program evaluation.
Forensic Interviewing.
Research.

Dr Obi. I did my Bachelors ( Univer of Free State ), Honours ( UNISA ) all in SA.

I have been in a limbo, I left my Masters admission and moved to Saudi Arabia to teach English for a few years. I am not in a hurry.

I wanna do my Masters and Phd at Harvard eeehnn? grin grin grin Dreaming big grin grin grin grin Just that my application was not attended to last year for this year. I don't wanna loose hope. But sometimes I need to be realistic.
What other best Uni can you recommend?

Well the whole idea behind working was to
1. To save money to study at Harvard University ( one cannot only depend on funding ) I am so terrified of that since I also got married last year.
2. To explore the idea of pursuing Educational Psychology as apposed to Clinical Psychology.

Now I think I have a clear I idea of what I really wanna do, and where I wanna do it.

The only problem I have now is gaining Harvard admission. Thats the challenge. sad sad sad

But I can see if I dont get Harvard admission in the next three years, I might be compelled to settle for something else. I dont wanna do it in SA as well. That's the reason I asked if you can recommend any other BEST INSTITUTION. cheesy cheesy cheesy


REMEMBER ALL UNIVERSITIES CAN OFFER THE POST GRADUATE COURSE, BUT NOT ALL ARE VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY cheesy

You have to be strong and direct your goal because Psychology is a difficult profession , is better to take medicine than Psychology because they have got direct treatment plan whereas Psychologist use systematical formulation to treat patients . Be strong .

It an explanation how you can used your psychological experiences to deal with the engineering field ( there is no Engineering psychology ) My 10 years in Psychology studies from undergrad to PhD i have never heard of that, in my 4 years of teaching Psychology in the Philippines I Have never heard of that. I will not talk on this issue anymore but if you thought is correct then apply to any university if thus offered admission then do not hesitate to inform me.

Re: Psychology Graduates Lets Meet Here by DrObi: 5:29am On Jul 12, 2015
since you need psychology for a master program, then go for forensic psychology meanwhile since you do not have psychology as your undergrad course you will need to take pre requisit in psychology and will focus on clinical psychology , amount of credits or units depends on universities.

Please i am a lawyer who is looking forward to getting masters degree in psychology.Any advice will b greatly appreciated . thanks
Re: Psychology Graduates Lets Meet Here by DrObi: 5:35am On Jul 12, 2015
Educational Psychology is a great career when it comes to your choice as a teacher now. please stop the big names that are being labelled to universities and take your graduate program , Names matters only in Nigeria or Africa but skills and experiences are other issues in the field of psychology.

If you are really a psychologist you will not check on google . Google is a site created by human beings, The only reliable source to check on what you argued about is the PAP ( American Psychological Association) and see if what you argue about is among the field/s of Psychology.
