PSK 6101		Introduction to Forensic Psychology	3/0/0	DE		6

Course Goals	Forensic Psychology is a field that has been studied both in the world and in Turkey for many years. However, the fact that systematic information is treated as a whole and is recognized as a sub-field is quite new. In addition, our country is constantly developing as a field of employment. Because it is a multidisciplinary field of study (science branches such as psychology, psychiatry, law, sociology, criminology) it is important to know the concepts related to this field and to learn the points to be considered in practice. The "Introduction to Forensic Psychology" course contains essential and useful information for the field recognition as well as for integration with professional knowledge in different fields.
