Case in 1962 in which psychologists were deemed suitable experts to testify about mental illness (rather than exclusively medically trained experts)—​that psychologists began testifying as experts in court more regularly (Bartol & Bartol, 2014). In 1975, the American Psychological Association (APA) commissioned a task force to consider the ethical issues involved when psychologists interact with the criminal justice system. The task force’s report was published five years later, presenting 12 recommendations that psychology as a profession should set for the ethical service of psychologists in criminal justice settings (Task Force on the Role of Psychology in the Criminal Justice System, 1980).

After describing the field’s historical and current struggles to define itself, two ethical issues are discussed that are especially applicable to psychology in legal contexts. The first is the critical differences between serving in therapeutic versus forensic roles and the associated ethical obligation to refrain from serving in both roles in the same case. Despite the terminology used in the literature, treatment in forensic contexts can be ethically appropriate. This chapter considers the current state of the literature regarding treatment in forensic contexts and suggests that this is likely to be an area of future growth for the field.
