Applied Forensic Psychology: Identifying and Treating Trauma in Forensic Populations
$20.00
Presented by Rebecca Smith-Casey, PsyD, JD
Monday, September 22, 2025
8am-9am PT / 10am-11am CT / 11am-12pm ET
Event held online via Zoom, link to access provided upon registration.
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 session will focus on considerations around trauma in forensic populations. Participants will be provided an overview of the rates of trauma experienced in adult and juvenile forensic populations, considerations of the impact of early childhood adverse experiences on long-term outcomes in the criminal justice system, and include exploration of the trauma associated with incarceration. The module will provide an overview of empirically supported assessments and interventions for post-traumatic distress to be used with both adult and adolescent populations. The module will also include information related to diversity and cultural issues in assessment and treatment of trauma in forensic populations, highlight ethical issues related to working with populations with a history of trauma and those who are incarcerated, and specific considerations related to those with on-going court involvement.
Zoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event registration.
