Social change refers to the perception of the social progress or evolution of the social cultural ideologies and the knowledge that the society is advancing in ideas physiologically using growth.
As a forensic interviewer, it’s vital to note that individual adult learner has a unique need for education and therefore, there is a need to balance professional and personal commitments.
I would provide information on the essential characteristics of the forensic evaluations, and this will include data that addresses the content and the quality of the report submitted to the legal decision makers. The questions should be inclusive of the diverse family structure like single parenting, gay families; this will avoid stereotypical nuclear family hence preventing confusion and insult to the interviewer hence the likelihood of obtaining accurate information.
The introduction of training on social change and certification procedures is vital in some jurisdictions are significant efforts that will help improve the psychological assessment quality. In the interviewing process, I will focus on relevant legal questions and criteria orient the interviewer to make him/her comfortable. Allow some silence in the interview without necessarily allowing jumping into a new question as this gives room for the interviewer to gather hi/her thoughts, describe factual and clinical material that led to the expressed opinions and communicate the findings in a language that is comprehensive to the person not trained as mental health professional. Such developments point out to the truth being not what it should be, but what it is (Fontes 24).
Evaluation of the state of discipline of the forensic assessment in a particular period is a hard task. This because systematic investigations of the practices of the forensic examiners or the content of the reports and testimonies have rarely undertaken (Fruehwald 37). I should not only learn the culture and its dynamic changes, family differences in cultures but learn how own expectations, biases and intentioned intervention may regularly require alterations and updates as I work with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
