Forensic evaluations are similar and can include many of the elements of a psychological or neuropsychological assessment. What differs for a forensic evaluation is interaction with the law and who is requesting the evaluation. Typically forensic evaluations have specific questions asked by an attorney or court. Common evaluations explore:
- Impact of an event on functioning, such as traumatic brain injury or posttraumatic stress
- Testamentary capacity
- Recommendations for treatment or placement
