Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Forensic psychologists performing competence to stand trial evaluations are experiencing increased demand.
  • This heightened demand may contribute to professional burnout, characterized by exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence and consequences of burnout among forensic evaluators in the United States.
  • To identify factors contributing to burnout and job dissatisfaction in this professional group.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted with 129 forensic evaluators who conduct competence to stand trial evaluations.
  • Data were collected to measure burnout levels and explore potential contributing factors.

Main Results:

  • Over half (56%) of the surveyed evaluators reported experiencing burnout.
  • More than one third (39%) considered leaving their jobs due to evaluation demands.
  • Workload, time pressure, understaffing, and legal actions predicted burnout and job exit.

Conclusions:

  • A significant number of forensic evaluators are experiencing burnout, impacting job retention.
  • Addressing understaffing and workload demands is crucial to mitigate burnout and retain qualified professionals.
