Abstract

Every day ethical issues arise. Sometimes we notice them, often we don't. More frequently than not we follow a natural instinct rather than sitting down and charting out pros and cons because we subconsciously identify ethical concerns and respond based on that reaction.

In the field of psychology professionals do not have the luxury of responding to ethical issues or concerns on a subconscious level. Instead one must work to establish tangible reasons for decisions and interpretations which could very likely shape a person's future.

These stakes are raised to a more significant level in the specialized field of forensic psychology. forensic psychology is a relatively new field which has emerged from the developing combined field of law and psychology. forensic psychologists are called upon to evaluate people for the purposes of court proceedings. They are most often used to judge a person's mental state at the time of a crime, the capability of a person to stand trial or testify as a credible witness.
