For this discussion post please read the Forensic Specialty Guidelines and pay special attention to the section on Assessment. I want you to discuss what it means to be the “client” and the difference between assent and consent. Please also discuss the ethics in conducting a psychological assessment regarding court ordered assessment on a person who does not want to participate. 1) Can you do it? 2) Should you do it? 3) Why is it important?
