Forensic Psychosexual Evaluation
Rosetree Center for Healthy Sexuality provides safe, confidential, psychotherapy and forensic psychosexual evaluation. Risk assessment for cases involving sexual allegations.
Why a Psychosexual Evaluation?
Psychosexual evaluations are useful in making well-informed decisions about an individual throughout court proceedings and Title IX investigations.
A psychosexual evaluation helps to:
1. Determine a person’s risk of committing a sexual offense.
2. Evaluate the risk level of sexual and non-sexual recidivism.
3. Identify risk factors that should be targeted in treatment.
4. Recommend treatment options most beneficial to the client.
Like a general psychological evaluation, a psychosexual evaluation conducts a social history, identifies potential mental health needs, uses intellectual and/or personality testing, explores harm to self or others and makes specific treatment recommendations. What sets a psychosexual evaluation apart from a general evaluation is the more unique and critical detailed and thorough sexual history, which includes the exploration of sexual development, sexual attitudes, paraphilia, and fantasies. This data enhances the reliability, comprehensiveness, and usefulness of the psychosexual evaluation. A psychosexual evaluation does not determine guilt or innocence, identify whether an individual in an offender, or conclude whether an individual meets the profile of a sex offender.
What’s Included?
At Rosetree Center for Healthy Sexuality our licensed, credentialed, and specially trained evaluators conduct comprehensive psychosexual evaluations for your clients.
A psychosexual evaluation process includes one or more clinical interviews (in-person or secure virtual), a review of pertinent records, reports, case documents and communications, and a series of psychological and psychosexual inventories and assessments*. As may be necessary, we contact family members, attorneys, investigators, treatment providers, or other involved parties.
Following the evaluation, we provide a comprehensive report directed to the attorney or other requesting party.
Among the psychological and psychosexual inventories and assessments conducted by our evaluators are:
*The Sexual Symptom Assessment Scale
*Sexual Addiction Screening Test- Revised (SAST-R)
*Hypersexual Behavior Inventory (HB19)
*Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI)
*Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)/Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II)
*The ABEL Screen (AASI-3)
What are the costs?
The cost of a psychosocial evaluation varies based on the extent of the evaluation. The initial rate includes the primary 2-3 hour clinical interview, required follow up, administration of up to 6 psychological assessments, review of germane legal documents, a written evaluation, and treatment recommendations. Further evaluation and testing can be administered as well.
We schedule the first appointment within 5 days from your call. Reports are time sensitive. Once the appointment is accepted the evaluators can provide a final draft of your report on schedule.
