Forensic Mental Health Evaluations This workshop is a “consumer’s guide” to forensic mental health evaluations commonly seen in juvenile delinquency and adult criminal proceedings. Intended to assist non-mental health professionals in assessing the thoroughness and quality of these evaluations, the workshop reviews the differences between “clinical” and “forensic” evaluations, characteristics of higher and lower quality reports, and offers tips on how to assist forensic mental health evaluators in meeting the needs of juvenile or criminal justice system professionals. Clinical and diagnostic presentations that are commonly found in juvenile and criminal justice populations are reviewed, as are Competence to Stand Trial, Criminal Responsibility, Aid in Disposition, Sexual Offender, and other kinds of evaluations. Audience questions and participation are strongly encouraged to tailor the workshop to the specific needs of participants. Presenters: Robert Kinscherff, PhD, Esq is a psychologist with extensive clinical and forensic experience who is also an attorney.

24/7 Alcohol Testing If you could separate your offenders from alcohol, can you imagine how much lighter your caseload would be? It can be…with SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor), which lets you effectively separate alcohol from the offender by continuously monitoring them for alcohol consumption. Because SCRAM helps keep offenders sober for an extended period of time, you’ll start seeing results like: Safer roads Offender accountability Better responses to treatment Effective caseload management Reduced recidivism In this session, you will learn how SCRAM can become the solution for your alcohol testing program. The focus of the presentation will discuss continuous alcohol monitoring vs. random testing, the science behind transdermal testing, the research conducted and an overview on the features and benefits of the SCRAM II bracelet.

Mon PM
Ethical Issues with Mental Health Evaluations This workshop focuses upon ethical issues and dilemmas that can arise when mental health professionals provide evaluations and other services for court-involved persons. These issues often have implications for other professionals within the juvenile and criminal justice systems. Building upon a model of ethical reasoning and the distinction between “forensic” and “clinical” mental health services, this workshop discusses a variety of issues, including: informed consent, confidentiality and privilege, professional competence, dual or multiple relationships (most commonly playing both a clinical and a forensic role in the same case), use of appropriate assessment tools, appropriately describing any limitations on results or opinions, the presence of attorneys during forensic evaluations, expert testimony, and documentation issues. Also reviewed are steps that a justice professional might take if confronted with professionally and/or ethically questionable conduct on the part of a mental health professional. Audience questions and participation are strongly encouraged to tailor the workshop to the specific needs of participants. Objectives: 1. Participants will define a model of ethical reasoning. 2. Participants will distinguish between “forensic” and “clinical” mental health services and the importance of that distinction for providing professional mental health services to court-involved persons. 3. Participants will articulate the importance of identifying the “client” for forensic services in making decisions regarding informed consent, the privacy of information, and the range of permissible testimony. Presenters: Robert Kinscherff, PhD, Esq is a psychologist with extensive clinical and forensic experience who is also an attorney. He is currently the Director of Clinical Services for Easter Seals of New Hampshire where he works with youth and adults with developmental and/or psychiatric disabilities whose behaviors have or might bring them into contact with the justice system or expose them to long-term civil commitment.

Miscellaneous
I have instructed in the field of child sexual abuse, exploitation and sexual deviance, having provided lectures/training to law enforcement agencies, social agencies, medical, educational departments and having served as a consultant to numerous law enforcement and prosecution agencies, including:
Law Enforcement Agencies (sample):
I am (was) an adjunct lecturer teaching college courses on child maltreatment at Keene State College, Franklin Pierce College and at the University of New Hampshire. I have testified numerous times before both the New Hampshire House and Senate subcommittees in the field of child maltreatment. I have also participated with a Senate/House adhoc committee in preparing changes to laws dealing with sex crimes which were signed into law (effective 01-01-93). I was asked to and testified to the State of New York Commission of Investigation on the topic of combating cyber crime against children (2006). I have testified as an expert in child sexual abuse and exploitation cases in the states of New Hampshire (state and federal), Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Newfoundland, Canada (as a prosecution witness). I have been appointed by the New Hampshire Governor to serve on the Attorney General's Task force on Child Abuse (1990-present). I was named to and served on a committee formed by the New Hampshire Department of Education to form a model protocol to investigate child abuse cases (1992). I was named to the New Hampshire Bar Associations Task Force on Children (1993). I served as an executive board member with the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence (1993). I belonged to the national and tri-state chapter of the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children since from 1991 to 1999. I have participated in excess of 3000 investigations involving sexual assault, exploitation of children, and other sex crimes. I have personally conducted in excess of 1000 investigations resulting in criminal charges of child molestation, sexual assault and exploitation. I have interviewed in excess of 2000 victims of child sexual assault and exploitation. These interviews represent both intrafamilial and extrafamilial sexual abuse cases.

From interviewing and speaking with preferential sex offenders, both in an official capacity and during undercover operations, I am aware that preferential sex offenders will commonly retain photographs, magazines, movies and correspondence. This retention can span many years and the material is used by the preferential sex offender to relive their experience.
