Terry Kukor, PhD, ABPP, and Sarah Miller, PhD, ABPP, present a live virtual professional training program on Teaching Decision-Making and Reasoning in Forensic Supervision.
How do we learn to make decisions and reason about data in the context of forensic mental health assessment (FMHA)? In this training, we address the core question about how to teach someone to think critically in the context of FMHA. Critical thinking skills are about the ability to receive, collect, and analyze information effectively, which we apply to both decision-making and reasoning.
Decision-making refers to the range of decisions in conducting FMHA, ranging from in-the-moment determinations about what to write down in an interview to larger decisions about what collateral data to request. Reasoning refers to determinations we make about what the data means in terms of the legal issue or capacity being addressed.
This training is intended for two groups: 1) those who either receive or provide supervision of FMHA services and 2) those who wish to sharpen their skills related to tactical decision-making and reasoning in FHMA.
Training Outline:
- Teaching decision-making about data acquisition
- Teaching reasoning
