In this four week course, we will delve into the kinds of topics that Forensic Psychologists study and many the realms in which they can work. This class will cover topics such as competency to stand trial, malingering, and the insanity plea. Every week we will examine these topics and look at how they are defined and operate. This will be a lecture based course with plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
4 lessons//4 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1An IntroductionThis week we will look at forensic psychology as a whole. In particular, we will discuss relevant background information about the legal system and the mental health system as well as the ways in which Forensic Psychology is the intersection of both systems. We will introduce terms and concepts that are of importance as a baseline.Week 2Lesson 2MalingeringThis week we will discover what malingering is. In particular, we will look at when malingering is likely to occur, what it can look like, and why it is important in the context of forensic psychologyWeek 3Lesson 3Competency to Stand TrialThis week we examine competency to stand trial or the concept that in order for a fair trial in the U.S. an individual must have the mental capacity to understand what is presently happening to them. We will discuss how this issue is raised and evaluated as well as what occurs when an individual is determined to be incompetent to stand trial.Week 4Lesson 4InsanityThis week we examine the not guilty by reason of insanity plea. By looking at some of the most famous insanity cases (John Hinkley Jr) as well as some of the most common misconceptions about the insanity plea (how often do you think it comes up in court?), we will cover what insanity is and what happens to those who are deemed insane.
- Students will become familiar with the concepts of malingering, competency, and insanity.
- Students will learn about possible career paths within Forensic Psychology.
I have a Bachelor's in psychology with my focus being on forensic psychology and am preparing to do my Master's specifically in forensic psychology. I have extensively studied malingering, competency to stand trial and the insanity plea in the U.S. I have been a tutor for the last 5 years working with high school students.

頻度: 含まれる詳細: During the first week of classes, students will be given a quiz to measure how familiar they are with the topics covered in class.

Assessments will be taken in class and are required for all students.
Course mentions violent crime, mental illness, and secure psychiatric facilities which may be disturbing to some students. It is not suitable for students under 17 as we will be talking about psychotic disorders (hallucinations and delusions). Violent crime will be mentioned; however, the class primarily focuses on mental illness and legal wording. Discussions of dangerousness and mandatory treatment for those who are insane or incompetent will also be present. Please reach out if you have questions about content. I am more than happy to provide more details.
