SUMMARY:

Considering that psychological forensic assessment is a relatively recent professional practice, as

well as the insufficient number of national investigations covering the professional performance of psychologists in the judicial context in cases of violence against children and adolescents, the present investigation appears to be opportune for scientific development in area of legal psychology and victimology. The first chapter consists of a scoping review of the literature, analyzing an empirical study that investigated the performance of psychological forensic assessment in cases of suspected sexual abuse in custody disputes. Therefore, it was concluded that there is no consensus among professionals regarding the choice of evaluation methods and procedures, with the adoption of their own methods, often without scientific basis, as well as divergent understanding of important concepts and themes. The second chapter is composed of an empirical study, aiming to map the professional performance of expert psychologists forensic assessment in the judicial context in cases of violence against children and adolescents through a questionnaire constructed by the author. The sample consisted of 58 psychologists, of both sexes, aged between 25 and 67 years old (M= 45.9, SD= 9.9). The results demonstrated that there is no consensus among professionals regarding all aspects that were investigated, just as the evaluation strategies are diverse. The results reinforce the need for investment in research and training in the forensic assessment and forensic field as a whole, in order to help professionals produce consistent and objective evidence, through ethical, neutral and impartial action.
