Hi all! I’m a psychologist specializing in forensic psychology and am planning a series of short form videos where I react to clips of movies and tv shows that involve forensic psychology/psycho-legal questions.

My question is: what movies/tv shows would you like to see a forensic psychologist to?

Tia!

I got my MS in psych with a forensic speciality and now I’m not sure what avenue to take. I don’t want to go into a doctoral program because I just don’t think I have it in me to do more school plus $$$. I’d love to do assessments or counseling in some capacity. I really would love to work as a civilian in the military, doing assessments or evaluations even providing counseling to families. What are some options that anyone could suggest? I’m in the US. I’ve even thought of going into HR with this degree and doing evaluations within the business world. I feel so stuck and want to move forward just not sure where to go

Hi everyone,

I am a university student conducting a dissertation study in forensic psychology / criminal justice looking at mental health and offending.

Participation involves completing an anonymous online questionnaire which should take around 10 minutes.

If you are happy to take part, you can complete the survey here after reading the participant information sheet:

Perceptions of Mental Health Diagnoses and Criminal Responsibility  – Fill in form

Participation is completely voluntary, and you can withdraw at any time before submitting your responses. No personal identifying information is collected.

Thank you very much for your time—it is greatly appreciated.

I am a teenager who is getting ready for college. I have a major interest in criminal justice and psychology and was very interested in pursuing forensic psychology as a career. However I lack anybody in my daily life who works in the field to talk to and I find the Internet provides misconceptions about the job so I’d like to ask a few questions.

My main question is, do forensic psychologist ever work to help victims of crime or is it only assisting offenders? Can you work to help victims of crime or is that I a completely different job? I primarily want to assist in helping victims while also working in the legal field and court.

Additionally, I have a strong desire to be purposeful, help others, and make a difference in both the world and peoples lives in a good way. Would you say this aligns well with being a forensic psychologist?

Lastly for those in the field, how difficult was it to find work? Would you say this is worth going into or at risk of being overrun by AI? I wouldn’t want to spend 12 years working for something that will be overrun by AI and impossible to get a job for. Just my anxiety prompting the idea 😅

Any information provided is greatly appreciated!
