Dealing With Situations We’d Rather Avoid: A forensic psychologist shares the dos and don’ts of responding to clients, lawyers, police, investigators, and the Courts.

Element Hotel Calgary 2855 Sunridge Way NE, Calgary, AB, Canada

Psychological practice invariably leads to encounters with third parties and organizations requesting access to our work: From a client requesting a simple treatment summary letter, to a lawyer’s request for a copy of a clinical file and even a subpoena to appear in Court. Most of us practice with the hopes of avoiding these types of situations—leaving us ill prepared to respond to them when they do and potentially exposing us to professional disciplinary action.
