therapy model in which the family works individually and together to resolve a problem that directly affects one or more family members.

a type of psychological counseling (psychotherapy) that can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts.

As described by the American Psychological Association, forensic psychology, in its broadest sense, involves applying psychological research or principles to legal issues. More specifically, forensic clinicians use their knowledge of psychology to assist individuals who find themselves involved in the legal system (i.e., criminally or civilly).

Forensic services can include evaluation and treatment of individuals who have become involved with the legal system. For example, a court may require parents to get an evaluation to determine their current psychological functioning or their ability to parent their children. Another example is court ordered therapy.
