• PSY348 Forensic Developmental Psychopathology

  Forensic developmental psychopathology explores the development of a range of vulnerabilities found frequently within suspects and detainees, with an applied focus on the impact of those mental health issues on performance during police questioning and in Court. The assessment and treatment of such disorders, as well as research methods used, will also be covered in this module. Students will develop an understanding of the psychology of vulnerable suspects; how such vulnerabilities develop, and gain an appreciation of how to manage individuals with complex needs within the applied forensic setting. The module is most suited to students with both clinical and/or forensic aspirations.
