Forensic evaluation consists of an assessment interview and a series of psychological tests. The forensic interview usually lasts an hour to an hour and a half depending on how complex the person’s history is. Psychological testing is variable according to the diagnostic question. What can be expected is that there would be at least two psychological tests administered. In the case of some specific diagnostic questions such as does this individual have Post traumatic
Stress Disorder or does this person abuse drugs or alcohol, there may be additional testing.
