Generally, how do the goals of clinical psychologists in forensic settings tend to differ from the goals of clinical psychologists in more traditional (e.g., therapy and assessment) settings?
What will be an ideal response?
In forensic settings, the goal is not necessarily to help the client, but to help the legal system. Forensic settings require a more detached, neutral, objective stance rather than the supportive, empathic approach more typical in other settings. Additionally, the trust that is common to traditional settings for clinical psychologists is necessarily lacking in forensic work.
