Tipsters, there is a good article in the latest issue of Eye on Psi Chi on the subject of forensic psychology. It was written by Matthew T. Huss of Creighton University and it is targeted to psychology students who are curious about this field. Check it out at: <http://www.psichi.org/content/publications/eye/volume/vol_5/5_3/huss.asp>http: //www.psichi.org/content/publications/eye/volume/vol_5/5_3/huss.asp >From the article: "Forensic psychology is one of the fastest growing areas of psychology as suggested both by an increase in the practice of clinical psychology within our legal system and the increasing interest expressed by undergraduate and graduate students. However, students often become interested in the field because of sensationalistic media portrayals that may not be accurate nor offer realistic employment opportunities. Students may become disheartened to learn that certain media depictions are less than realistic but should be excited to learn about the real possibilities forensic psychology has to offer. This article will attempt to describe the field of forensic psychology, identify possible careers, and suggest relevant training opportunities." I intend to make this article available to every student who expresses an interest in this field. <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< Miguel Roig, Ph.D. Voice: (718) 390-4513 Assoc.
