About my presentation

In English class, everyone made a presentation on a topic that interested us, but unfortunately I was sick and I could not go that day, so I missed the presentations of my classmates. 

Therefore present in the next class, I have really nervious, almost all my classmates are anthropology students, I chose to talk about my career, psychology, but especially about my area, which is forensic psychology, because I thought they would be interested

Forensic psychology is responsible for the collection, analysis and presentation of psychological evidence for judicial proposes. In other words, it’s responsible for collecting sufficient information to establish evidence for a trial. Judgments that result from allegations of sexual abuse, domestic violence, personal care or child custody, among other.

This is done by collecting data as evidence to raise a hypothesis about if the accusation is true or false. By court order, the people involved in the complaint must be submitted to a psychological interview. The areas to be evaluated depend on the psychological/legal question granted by the judge, when the judge marks the limits, the psychologist must choose the tools that it deems necessary to answer that psychological/legal question.

For example, if there is a complaint by the personal care of a child, the judge send the psychological/legal question focused on the parenting skills of parents, therefore my work is investigate in the psychological interview, if parents have the skills or not, discarding psychopathologies or personality disorders that may affect the personal care of the child. You should always ensure the healthy development of children.

This area of psychology is really motivating for me, every time I have to analyze a case, I do it all since my heart.
