16 | Eastern State Hospital (10/16/2020) | Williamsburg, Virginia | https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bn94xTwqn2A4tseMH8mzb8F2O8raDSe0/view?usp=sharing | Elizabeth Hunt, Ph.D. and Kristen Hudacek, Psy.D. | Training Components Clinical Pretrial Evaluations: The postdoctoral fellow will work with the Forensic Evaluation Team to complete evaluations of competence to stand trial (both initial and post-restoration) and sanity at the time of the offense. There may be opportunity for court testimony or observation of court testimony. The fellow will be expected to carry their own caseload of evaluations while being supervised by a member of the Forensic Evaluation Team. Post-Adjudication Evaluations and Risk Assessment/Management: The risk assessment and management component mainly involves the assessment of those acquitted Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) throughout various points in the legal process. Once an individual is acquitted NGRI, there are several evaluations that are court ordered to include Temporary Custody Evaluations and Initial Analysis of Risk Report. These evaluations focus on risk assessment and need for inpatient hospitalization. If hospitalized after these initial evaluations, the NGRI acquittee participates in treatment to progress through the gradual release process that is followed by the state of Virginia. This includes a “demonstration” model of clinical risk management, where the acquittee is afforded the opportunity to demonstrate their capability for functioning at increasing levels of community access. The postdoctoral fellow will function as part of a multidisciplinary treatment team for the assessment and treatment of NGRI acquittees. This will largely involve risk assessment and management through the completion of privilege requests and conditional release reports pursuant to the gradual release process. The postdoctoral fellow will also be assigned Annual Continuation of Confinement and Second Opinion Evaluations that may be ordered by the court throughout the treatment process. There may be opportunity for court testimony or observation of court testimony. Within the various clinical roles, the postdoctoral fellow will also learn about the larger system of care in Virginia and may collaborate with team members for appropriate aftercare planning as patients return to the community. In addition to serving in clinical roles, the postdoctoral fellow has the opportunity to participate in research efforts throughout the hospital. This may be especially relevant for those individuals with interests in public policy and systemic intervention. Didactics The ESH postdoctoral training program will also include didactic and caselaw seminars. Weekly seminars will be held focusing on various forensic issues including violence risk assessment, assessment of malingering, ethical considerations, psychology in the courtroom, insanity, competence to stand trial, other types of forensic evaluations and civil areas relevant to work in the field of forensic psychology. Caselaw seminar focuses on landmark cases at both state and federal levels that set standards for the practice of forensic psychology and guidelines for conducting court ordered evaluations. Postdoctoral fellows will be expected to present summaries of assigned cases during this seminar. Postdoctoral fellows will have access to various trainings throughout the state. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to participate two trainings offered by the Institute of Law Psychiatry and Public Policy at the University of Virginia. The Basic Forensic Evaluation: Principles and Practice, a five-day course, is designed to provide foundational, evidence-based training in the principles and practice of forensic evaluation generally and specific to the Code of Virginia. The postdoctoral fellow will also be expected to participate in the Assessing Risk for Violence in Clinical Practice, which is designed to provide an overview of risk assessment, risk factors, risk communications and report writing. These trainings satisfy the training requirement outlined in Virginia Code in order to be included on the Commissioner Appointed list of evaluators. Supervision Postdoctoral fellows will receive individual face-to-face supervision from one or more licensed clinical psychologists. The Forensic Evaluation Team provides supervision (1 hour weekly meetings and additional supervision as needed) for pretrial evaluations on a quarterly rotation throughout the training year. The Assistant NGRI Forensic Coordinator provides supervision for post-adjudication/risk assessment evaluations, which will also consist of 1 hour weekly meetings and additional supervision as needed. The postdoctoral fellow will also meet with the training director on a regular basis for supervision. In addition, there is the opportunity for group supervision with various licensed psychologists throughout the hospital, as well as consultation with other forensic psychologists. | Yes | 1/8/2021 | No | No | ||||||||||||||||

42 | University of New Mexico Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (9/8/2021) | Albuquerque, New Mexico | https://hsc.unm.edu/medicine/departments/psychiatry/education/forensic/ | Jaymes Fairfax-Columbo, JD, PhD; Jeffrey Younggren, PhD, ABPP (Clinical) | As a fellow, your core rotations provide the opportunity to learn in a variety of settings. You’ll receive advanced training in both forensic mental health assessment (FMHA) and mental health policy. You’ll have two six-month clinical rotations: (1) the Second Judicial District Court Rotation and (2) the Private Practice Rotation. You’ll also devote one day per week to working with the New Mexico Behavioral Health Services Division to gain policy experience. Second Judicial District Court: Under the leadership and supervision of New Mexico Court officials and licensed forensic psychologists, you will conduct court-ordered competency to stand trial evaluations for pre-trial defendants in New Mexico’s Second Judicial District Court. You’ll learn from different psychologists in order to experience both a breadth of style and diversity of forensic practice. You’ll also get to perform an array of tasks, including: selecting, administering, scoring, and interpreting psychological tests; authoring forensic evaluation reports; proving expert consultation to the Court; providing testimony and/or recommendations in court cases and hearings; and providing peer consultation/supervision. Notably, all competency evaluations that you conduct will be court-ordered, and thus are not private referrals by either defense attorneys or prosecuting attorneys. This setup allows you to practice conducting and completing competency evaluations in an objective and impartial fashion, without concern about the influence of adversarial allegiance. It is particularly advantageous during training because you can focus fully on honing and mastering evaluative skill under conditions ideally suited to emulate best practices in FMHA. All of your evaluation reports shall comply and be in accordance with the State of New Mexico’s Interagency Behavioral Health Service Requirements and Utilization Guidelines, New Mexico state statutes, national professional standards, and applicable court rules and law. Private Practice Rotation: During the Private Practice Rotation, you will devote the majority of your clinical time to working with private practice forensic psychologists. Most often, the evaluations you will be conducting will be attorney-retained. You will complete a variety of criminal and civil forensic evaluations under the leadership and supervision of UNM faculty and licensed forensic psychologists in the community. Common referral questions include mitigation for sentencing, criminal responsibility, future dangerousness, psychological damages/personal injury, pre-employment, disability, and fitness for duty. You’ll see for yourself how private practice psychologists approach and manage their work, and gain insight into the difference between forensic mental health evaluation in private versus public settings. You’ll also gain experience conducting forensic evaluations in multiple settings in both urban and rural areas, including correctional, psychiatric hospital, and private practice settings. During this rotation a minority of your clinical time will still be devoted to conducting competence to stand trial evaluations in the Second Judicial District Court. New Mexico Behavioral Health Services Division: You will assist New Mexico Behavioral Health Services Division (BHSD) efforts on various policy-related issues. Typical activities include facilitating the competency evaluators learning community, reviewing behavioral health bills for proposed legislation, drafting white papers on mental health-related topics, and assisting with program development and implementation. Acting in this capacity, you’ll have a unique opportunity to learn about and be involved in policy and the intersection of the criminal justice system and the mental health system at the systemic or organizational level. You will also consult and build relationships with state and court employees and will develop and hone skills in communication, leadership, and administration.
