Psychology is the scientific and thorough analysis of the human mind and the behavior of each person, so this advice allows us to determine the state of mental health.

“Psychological Expert Report and its main characteristics” is the title of the second conference of the “Psychology and Contemporary Society” cycle. This activity will be dictated by Mg. Paola Denmark, next Wednesday, June 27 at 11:30 hrs. at the Cuatro Esquinas Community and Cultural Center, a space belonging to the illustrious Municipality of La Serena.  

The object of the psychological expert report is the analysis of human behavior in the field of law and rights. Psychological expert reports consist of a document prepared by the forensic psychology expert at the end of the exhaustive evaluation and analysis process of the people involved. This advice allows us to determine the state of a person's mental health, evaluate whether they have psychological consequences of a traumatic event, determine whether they are suitable for guarding and custody of disabled people, as well as assess whether they are criminally responsible based on a possible mental disorder.

In the invitation, the academic and Director of the School of Psychology of the University of La Serena will address the work of the forensic psychologist, which ends with the translation of his evaluation into a report that is sent to the authority that requested it. In this regard, Denmark commented: “since the expert report is the summary of the work carried out, it is essential that it be written in a correct, structured manner and under a series of considerations. Furthermore, the expert report is a scientific document (Fernández-Ballesteros 2007) that must meet specific technical criteria. “At this conference, these criteria and strategies will be reviewed to prepare an expert report that meets them,” she commented.

The series of conferences “Psychology and Contemporary Society” is organized by the ULS Department of Psychology, in conjunction with the Directorate of Liaison with the Environment and Extension of the university, and during this first semester it is also carried out in collaboration with the Center Community and Cultural Cuatro Esquinas, municipal area where the first three activities take place.

This invitation is free entry and no prior registration is required, only an attendance record when entering the activity at the Community and Cultural Center, located at Larraín Alcalde 3505, La Serena.
