Forensic Psychology, in simplistic terms, is the interaction of psychology and the law and legal issues. The Online Programs in Forensic Psychology at The Chicago School want to provide students, faculty in other programs, and the general public an overview of topics in forensic psychology, to enhance participant’s understanding of forensic psychology and how the intersection of counseling and forensic psychology can improve social justice causes. 

This module will review several differences between clinical and forensic evaluations, define and provide an overview of the research on impression management, identify several psychological measures used in impression management, and provide a background on suggestibility. The module will provide recommendations for ethical practice in forensic evaluations when assessing clients for impression management in the forensic arena. Lastly and importantly, this module will explore the understanding and integration of diversity and cultural variables.
