This self-paced training program on Cultural Competence in Forensic Assessment is presented by Barry Rosenfeld, PhD, ABPP.
It covers a range of issues related to forensic assessment of individuals from diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. Topics covered include an overview of the construct of “cultural competence” and the requisite self-assessment and pre-evaluation cultural research that is often necessary for cross-cultural assessments. In addition, more focused topics such as modifications to the typical evaluation and treatment process, decision-making regarding psychological testing and the interpretation of test results, the impact of language and culture on the therapeutic alliance, and the use (and misuse) of interpreters are reviewed. Finally, this program concludes with a review and discussion of ethical issues related to cross-cultural forensic assessment and treatment.
