FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY
We are Party-appointed Technical Consultants (PTC) when official technical consultancy is called in cases of judicial separation, insurance and property disputes, lawsuits for mobbing.
What is a Party Technical Consultant?
The Party-appointed Technical Consultant is specialist, in our case a forensic psychologist, who intervenes on your behalf in a judicial proceeding where an assessment of your psychological, neuro-psychological or parenting skills is necessary or appropriate.
When a judge deems a psychological or neuropsychological evaluation of the parties in question necessary, he calls a Technical Consultancy Office, i.e. he appoints a trusted psychologist (Technical Consultant, CTU), to assess and evalutate the parties' state from a psychological or neuropsychological perspective. The parties have the right to check the correctness of the assessment carried out by the CTU through a trusted forensic psychologist: the Party Technical Consultant (CTP), who can request additions or changes to the investigation method, validate or criticize the CTU's evaluation.
