Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Certified Forensic Evaluator
Dr. Pamela Buchanan provides forensic evaluations, consultation, and expert testimony of adult defendants and adult clients to assist triers of fact using evidence based procedures. Practice includes, but is not limited to, a special emphasis and expertise in risk assessment regarding multiple types of offending/criminal behavior. Violence/criminal behavior and its control are significant social, political, legal, mental health, and security issues. The prediction of violence/criminal behavior is complex and controversial. The consequences of inaccurate predictions can cause a host of legal and ethical issues, thus only evidence based and empirically validated procedures are used.
