Forensic Psychology is the practice of psychology in the public
arena, specifically in legal affairs and court proceedings.
Forensic Psychologists have advanced training, conduct objective
evaluations, and adhere to special ethical codes and standards
of practice.
Dr. Claiborn is not a hired gun; he lets the
attorneys he works with know that he calls things as he sees
them, based on current psychological methods and understanding
and on sound judgment. Dr. Claiborn has practiced forensic
psychology since 1980, and he approaches each evaluation as he
would want it to be conducted if he himself were the subject.
His primary guiding ethical principle in forensic work is to “do
no harm,” and he designs his reports and opinions with a view
toward solving problems, not enhancing them. Dr. Claiborn is
especially interested in the issue of assessing responsibility.
Here are common areas of Dr. Claiborn’s forensic psychology
practice.
